A new issue is best started in a separate thread instead of hijacking someone else's thread, as you did. It keeps threads neat and tidy too.

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean > packages'.

I think it was better not to run dnf clean all. You should have just run a repeat of dnf update because the system would have been in a sane state. By running clean all, you wiped all metadata. I think the errors are because there is some cruft left over from the update. Try using dnf distrosync If that doesn't work, you can try dnf -x glib2 update to see if it will fix all the other problems and ignore glib2 for now. Usually, the problem that glib2 is reporting is a packaging error, but I suspect it isn't in this case because of the update interrupt. Once everything else is fixed, you might have to manually remove the glib2 packages in conflict because they are cruft left over from the interrupted update. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
