Hi,
I'm trying to update my Centos 8 Stream system. However when updating cups-client to version 1:2.2.6-42.el8.x86_64 the update fails with the following error:
Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package cups-client-1:2.2.6-41.el8.x86_64
- nothing provides cups-libs(x86-64) = 1:2.2.6-42.el8 needed by cups-client-1:2.2.6-42.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I have these repositories enabled:
CentOS Stream 8 - AppStream
CentOS Stream 8 - BaseOS
CentOS Stream 8 - Extras
I suspect the package should be available in the BaseOs repository. But for some reason it isn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: dnf update: Nothing provides cups-libs(x86-64)
What is the output from dnf list cups-client cups-libs
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: dnf update: Nothing provides cups-libs(x86-64)
This is not a known issue and it apparently works for others so I suggest running dnf clean all then try again. Most likely a not completely updated mirror.

Re: dnf update: Nothing provides cups-libs(x86-64)
I suspect you're right because the list of uninstallable packages has just changed. Running dnf clean all and dnf update --refresh have not resolved the issue though. I guess I will have to wait for the mirror to catch up.
