help updating centos 8 with KDE

[popo123]

for few month I haven't been able to update my system (centos 8.5) due to KDE package incompatibility.
I have read that all KDE packages were fixed but still I cannot update.

What am I doing wrong ?

Code: Select all

sudo yum update
Error: 
 Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package kf5-akonadi-server-21.08.3-1.el8.x86_64
  - nothing provides libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5.15.3_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by kf5-akonadi-server-22.04.1-1.el8.x86_64

CentOS 8 is EOL as of the end of 2021 and will receive no more updates. You need to convert to one of the other RHEL clones like Rocky/Alma/OEL in order to continue receiving any updates. You could also use CentOS Stream 8 but it is a permanent beta and breaks on a regular basis.

All of the new clones have conversion scripts to migrate from CentOS Linux 8 to themselves and usually from the other clones as well. Your system on 8.5 is now over 1 year out of date - the current version of RHEL 8 is 8.7 but there will never be a CentOS Linux 8.7.

CentOS 8 died at the end of 2021 - move to one of the other clones like Rocky, Alma, etc.

Thanks,
I was not aware of the EOL of centos.

I am trying to migrate to Rocky. Downloaded the migration script and run it but the script is trying to do dnf update and fails because of KDE missing libs. So what is the best way ? Uninstall KDE, update to Rocky and then reinstall KDE ?

thanks

I don't know details of the migrate2rocky.pl script so you may be better off asking in their forums/support venues. If you do then I would include at least a snippet of what the dnf update says so they can see t and advise.
