Dnf / dnfdrake broken?

Support

Hello,

Is dnf / dnfdrake broken?

The only update I get is ‘kernel-desktop x86_64 0:7.0.3-1 ‘.
I don’t want this one.
Or is my system screwed?

“I’m using OpenMandriva Lx 26.02 (ROME) Rolling with kernel 6.19.0 desktop.”

Thanks in advance,

Requirements:

I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index)
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the Release Notes and Errata

OpenMandriva Lx version:

Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):

Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

7.0.3 is the kernel version I have. That is the latest on ROME. If you need a newer version, just say so and @ben79 can walk you through grabbing it from Cooker without changing to the cooker repos. I don’t know the command for that off the top of my head.

General info for all users: For questions like this it is best to show terminal (Konsole in Plasma desktop) output so we can see why you believe something might be broken. Showing terminal output is also useful for software that does not start or work correctly, it might provide us with useful info. Please post code as code. Otherwise we only have “it’s broken” and that we can not fix. There are other problems where users need to show logs like journal log or other. Ask and we can help with that.

Hi,

Which terminal commands in particular you want to see the output?

5

Hello,

  1. sudo dnf clean all;dnf clean all;dnf repolist

  2. sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing 2>&1 | tee dsync-log.txt
    Type N (no) and abort the transaction.

If the output is just some few lines copy/paste it (format code as code) here, otherwise attach the dsync-log.txtfile which has been created in your home directory.

That looks fine to me but I’m not an expert. Were you expecting more packages to upgrade? I don’t think your system is “screwed”. You can install kernel 7.0.3 and still boot with an older kernel from the grub menu if you want. What exactly made you think something has gone wrong?

@MauRice there is nothing in the dnf output you posted that is wrong, broken, or abnormal. What you see is dnf working as it should work.

It is true that it has been way to long since ROME has had a major upgrade. There simply have not been many upgrades for ROME for months. Part of this is the nature of a distro that is all part-time volunteers. When people’s day jobs, family, health, or other considerations happen they happen and that slows things down. Plus our devs have simply uncovered in the course of normal upgrading in Cooker (development platform) a ton of things that have to be fixed before moving system software to ROME or Rock.

OK, thanks everyone.

Have a nice day.
