ROME Update impossible

I would say that if your computer is working well not to worry about those 2 skipped packages.

But to help me track this down is your system LXQt desktop only or are there others? What iso what it installed from?

Could you please post the output of these four commands:

dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'libkdfprivate.so.23()(64bit)'

dnf repoquery --whatrequires 'libKPim5KontactInterface.so.5()(64bit)'

rpm -qa lib64kdfprivate

rpm -qa lib64kpimkontactinterface

I checked your email settings and they appear to be correct. I do receive email notifications here. So I do not know what the problem is.

Hello,
I have installed LXQT, Openbox and KDE Plasma (X11 and Wayland) in a VirtualBox.

$ rpm -qa lib64kdfprivate
lib64kdfprivate-23.08.5-1.x86_64

$ rpm -qa lib64kpimkontactinterface
lib64kpimkontactinterface-23.08.5-1.x86_64

Sorry, I have no e-Mail message to me when an answer is postet.
What is the reason for that?

Hello,

OK, my computer works well.
I am interest what is the reason for the skipping packages and how is solving the problem by maintaniers.

with regards
Ch. Hanisch

Apologies but I had to deal with some other things for about a week.

On this latest error you are getting >>> I am past the point where I do not know, I have to use a combination of asking devs, online research, and guessing. But it would be good to resolve this for the benefit of other users.

@Hanisch a thought about the error you are getting. You seem to have correct packages installed. But something in that system wants to install lib64kdfprivate-24.02.0-2 and lib64kpimkontactinterface-24.02.0-2. That could be some old package from the past that is no longer used, like a package originally installed as a dependency that is no longer needed. This is common on older systems. This could explain why it wants to install an older version of those 2 packages.

To remove such packages dnf has a command specifically for this purpose, dnf autoremove. To run that command and create a log:

sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf autoremove 2>&1| tee dnf-autoremove-log.txt

That would create the log file “dnf-autoremove-log.txt”. This is a command that asks for a yes or no so you can just run it and see what would be removed and say N for no and post that log here if you wish.

Explanation: dnf --help tells us:

autoremove remove all unneeded packages that were originally installed as dependencies

In theory this only removes undeeded packages. Unless someone makes a mistake in packaging. Such mistakes are rare but not zero. Thus I like to keep a log or copy and paste somewhere the list of removed packages just in case. I do use dnf autoremove whenever I dnf dsync my Cooker or ROME systems.

Hello,
sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf autoremove 2>&1| tee dnf-autoremove-log.txt
give me in ~/dnf-autoremove-log.txt

What can I do otherwise?

I don’t have an answer. My last answer was a guess.

Hi Ben,
Just going through this and noticed a error in this post. It is not trying to install packages when newer ones are installed. Version 24 will be newer than the installed 23 version. Unless I misunderstand this post.

That is to this post

That is correct. To my knowledge this is a one user problem. If you have any input I am sure it would be appreciated.

I did go through a very similar issue when upgrading to plasma6. My solution was just to remove lib64kdfprivate lib64kpimkontactinterface and all dependencies. I kept track of the removed packages and added back the ones I wanted. If I remember correctly you can just not install kdf again as it requires version 23.

Hello,
I have solved my problem subsequent:

$ sudo dnf remove kdf    
$ sudo dnf up --best --allowerasing
$ sudo dnf up

Good to know you solved it, great work!

Since it is a ROME system now it might be a good idea to go back to using dnf dsync or dnf dsync --allowerasing. Just pay attention when using --allowerasing as that can possibly remove something you do not want removed. So pay attention to this and ask quesions if needed.
