[Solved] Update problems RHEL 8
Re: Update problems RHEL 8
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that a clean RHEL 8.5 with a newly installed epel-release can install all of those packages in your list cleanly without any complaints.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
Ah, OK.
This laptop was a clean install of 8.4 (epel and other repos) only a month or two ago and weekly updated. Other machines were also clean installs over the last ~6 months and weekly updated. My 'update expectation' is that I can get to current.

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
If you had NVidia drivers from ELRepo, then you would had to enable 'elrepo-testing' to get 8_5 versions ... or wait till Monday, when they have planned to move those to the main 'elrepo'.
It is a matter or coordination and resource allocation for third-party repos. If they can't start building for new RHEL point update before the update is GA, then they inevitably have some delay. After build and QA there is also sync to mirrors that is not instant.

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
I think the major source of all the problems is the k3b package from EPEL which depends on all the old RHEL versions of everything else so you cannot update it until a newer version comes out that depends on the newer RHEL packages.

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
Well, I was hopeful and removed k3b. Alas, I still get a list of kf5 and qt- errors. I'd contemplated wiping it and clean installing but I suspect the problems are stemming from packages (like k3b) that I am adding. This would mean that the clean install would actually be a waste of time - and I just clean installed a month ago.
Well, I've got to get my day going here. Thank you much.

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
Update: I've been receiving bugzilla emails the last few days regarding progress. Glad to report that update now running without error on my laptop. Hopefully all is now well.
Not quite - a second machine balked, even after yum clean all. However, yum reinstall *.* seems to have done it!

Re: Update problems RHEL 8
So - an update:
Back in my Fedora days I learned to NEVER 'massage a failed update' to get it to go! None-the-less, I did exactly that by applying
--nobest" to the RHEL 8.5 update failures. I am now cleaning up the results.
Lesson again: Wait a couple weeks for repos to catch up (yeh, it's difficult but well worth it). '--nobest' installed broken stuff that I am now manually deleting. Think I've got all the machines back - each was different broken installs.
