I spent most of yesterday repairing a rawhide VM that had a bad
upgrade,
resulting in dnf segfaulting and making the machine difficult to fix.
Had to build a second rawhide VM as a baseline to guide a manual
download and install of affected RPMs. Very not happy, and I would
advise more testing before making it official.
Managed to destroy one of my own rawhide VM's that had automatic updates
enabled till I figured out how to workaround, so for anyone interested.
Hadn't rebooted for some time and when I tried to do a distro-sync I was
getting:
Problem 1: problem with installed package
python3-slip-dbus-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch
- package python3-slip-dbus-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch from @System
requires
python(abi) = 3.11, but none of the providers can be installed
- package python3-slip-dbus-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch from rawhide
requires
python(abi) = 3.11, but none of the providers can be installed
- python3-3.11.3-1.fc39.ppc64le from @System does not belong to a
distupgrade repository
Problem 2: problem with installed package
python3-slip-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch
- package python3-slip-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch from @System requires
python(abi) = 3.11, but none of the providers can be installed
- package python3-slip-0.6.4-29.fc38.noarch from rawhide requires
python(abi) = 3.11, but none of the providers can be installed
- package python3-3.11.3-1.fc39.ppc64le from @System requires
python3-libs(ppc-64) = 3.11.3-1.fc39, but none of the providers can be
installed
- python3-libs-3.11.3-1.fc39.ppc64le from @System does not belong to
a
distupgrade repository
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Hence removed python3-slip and python3-slip-dbus. After that I got a
segfault when trying to distro-sync. Consistent with 2 other rawhide VM's,
the same thing happened.
My system had sqlite-3.42.0-7.fc39 and rpm-4.18.1-3.fc39 so I grabbed from
koji the sqlite-3.41.2-3.fc39
<
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2219084> version
(which was also dependent on the python3.11 abi) and installed it with:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh --oldpackage sqlite-3.41.2-3.fc39.ppc64le.rpm
sqlite-libs-3.41.2-3.fc39.ppc64le.rpm sqlite-devel-3.41.2-3.fc39.ppc64le.rpm
Then dnf didn't segfault anymore and I could distro-sync, getting the
latest python3.12, latest dnf etc.
