8.7 upgrade problem

I last did an upgrade yesterday, around 18:00 GMT. I’ve just (22:15) run a dnf update command and am seeing 8 problems where the required packages are specified at a lower rev that is currently installed. the affected packages are:

  • authselect-compat-1.2.5-1.el8.x86_64
  • dbus-x11-1:1.12.8-23.el8.x86_64
  • net-snmp-utils-1:5.8-25.el8.x86_64
  • fprintd-pam-1.90.9-2.el8.x86_64
  • xfconf-4.16.0-1.el8.x86_64
  • tigervnc-server-minimal-1.12.0-7.el8.x86_64
  • ibus-1.5.19-14.el8_5.x86_64
  • gnome-terminal-3.28.3-3.el8.x86_64

I assume this will correct itself over the next few days as packages are rebuilt, so this is of the nature of a “heads up” for devs. I shall wait patiently, thanks for the work you guys put in.

Could you please provide full error log?

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Looks like BaseOS and AppStream are not in sync on the particular mirror. There was a lot of updates today. To resolve:
dnf clean all
dnf update

Or wait up to 24h before next try.

Thanks, that fixed it.

Thanks for the tip, that resolved my issue as well (on RockyOS).
