Re: Fedora 33 vs Mageia 8

Although I haven't entirely given up looking at different distros, I don't do nearly as much sampling as I used to. My current desktop hardware is well-supported by Fedora. Except for Waterfox Classic, if it's not in the Fedora or RPM Fusion repo, I typically don't want or need it.

dependency question

Just out of curiosity: if package B depends on A, shown by the that removing A removes B, too, how come that after removing both, B can be installed without installing A? Here's what happened: # dnf erase kernel-debug-* Dependencies resolved. ==

can't upgrade from fedora 31 to Fedora 32

Folks,   I was trying to upgrade my Fedora 31 system to F32, but it failed due to conflicts.  Here's the output: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --skip-broken --refresh --releasever=32 Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by running "dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you wan

Re: can't upgrade from fedora 31 to Fedora 32

Paolo, This is a common problem. Upgrade scripts frequently stumble when packages from external repositories are installed. These can usually be individually uninstalled manually (dnf erase ) before running the upgrade script. Keep a list of the manually removed packages and try re-installing
