Hi,
Yesterday I downloaded all the F28 packages necessary to upgrade my
system from F27 to F28 by using the following command:
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=28
--allowerasing --skip-broken
I added the last 2 parameters because dnf told me there were
packages it could not upgrade because of conflicts and to add those
parameters. Having had the process start it said there were approx. 3540
packages to be downloaded, which took several hours to do.
I ran the dnf system-upgrade reboot command as required, but
because I had other things I needed to do I shut the machine down at the
subsequent grub menu.
This morning I booted Fedora and it booted to the starting offline
install messages that get displayed twice, separated by some sound card
initialisation messages. Dnf then kicked in and displayed some messages
I couldn't read because they scrolled off the screen too quickly, but it
did get to the point of telling me there were 6 F28 packages with broken
dependencies (being 4 Boost packages, qt-qtbase and polkit-qt5-1) and
that I should use --allowerasing and --skip-broken. It then proceeded to
tell me there were 137 packages to install, 3410 packages to upgrade, 13
packages it was going to remove, 6 packages it was going to downgrade,
and 6 packages with broken dependencies. It then proceeded to tell me
there were no packages to download, and that its transaction tests were
successful so it was going to do the install. After pausing for a little
while it then produced a message that started with the work failed
written in red, but the messages scrolled off too quickly to read as it
continued on to boot into F27.
1). Can anyone shed any light on why the install may have failed and
what I need to do to work around it? I'm hoping I don't have to run a
'sudo dnf clean all' and then a 'sudo dnf system-upgrade --refresh
--releasever=28 --allowerasing --skip-broken' to download all the
packages again.
2). Where can I find the logs that would contain the error message so I
can read what it said, given that /var/log/boot.log and /var/log/dnf.log
both don't contain the message?
regards,
Steve
