Unlikely. Actually, almost definitely no.
If you do rpm -qi qemu, does it give package information? It should, or else it isn't in the rpm database. What does rpm -qa | grep -i qemu show?
Ok so i got this when i type the commands :
$ rpm -qi qemu package qemu is not installed
$ rpm -qa | grep -i qemu libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.3.1-1.fc23.x86_64 qemu-kvm-2.5.0-4.fc23.x86_64 qemu-guest-agent-2.5.0-4.fc23.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-2.5.0-4.fc23.x86_64 qemu-img-2.5.0-4.fc23.x86_64 qemu-common-2.5.0-4.fc23.x86_64 ipxe-roms-qemu-20150821-1.git4e03af8.fc23.noarch
It makes no sense that dnf can't remove it if it is in the rpm database. Is there any kind of failure message? What happens if you use the -v (--verbose) option to dnf? Do you have qemu set up as a protected package?
using the verbose on the removal give me this :
$ dnf remove -v qemu.x86_64 cachedir: /var/cache/dnf Loaded plugins: needs-restarting, debuginfo-install, reposync, copr, playground, download, config-manager, Query, builddep, protected_packages, noroot, langpacks, generate_completion_cache langpacks: No languages are enabled Error reading file : /var/lib/dnf/plugins/langpacks/installed_langpacks as it does not exist initialized Langpacks plugin DNF version: 1.1.5 No match for argument: qemu.x86_64 Error: No packages marked for removal.
If it is in the rpm database, it can be removed using rpm, as well. The man page will tell you how. But better to use the package manager if you can.
I notice that the epoch on the virt-preview package is 2. I don't know what it is on the fedora package, but if it is less than 2, no updates are going to occur as long as that virt-preview package is installed.
Mixing repositories is problematic for exactly this reason, unless there is close coordination.
Well, back then i had almost no idea what is was doing so i followed the tutorial to the letter, seemed like a good idea back then, i had so many issue trying to install qemu manually at the time...
