hello,
I am looking to install wine on my new Fedora 33 laptop. When doing 'dnf
install wine' I am getting:
A bunch of i686 packages that will be installed (I think this is
normal), and a bunch of installed x86_64 packages to be downgraded (I
believe to the version corresponding to the available i686 package).
Why is it downgrading my packages? Will this create dependency issues (I
have had bad experiences with this type of thing in Debian)? Can
downgrading these packages have any other drawbacks?
The usual cause of this is that you installed the newer packages with
the updates-testing repository enabled, but it is now disabled. This
usually happens if you install a pre-release, because updates-testing
is usually enabled for pre-releases, but shortly before the release
goes final, we send out a fedora-repos update that disables it.
You can either just re-enable updates-testing if you don't mind having
it enabled, or if you don't want it enabled, it may be best to do a
'dnf distro-sync' to downgrade all "newer" packages to the current
stable release.
