"cannot install best candidate ...."

Post by mjz » 2020/05/30 18:30:46

I tried to "dnf update" and received the following error for the first time:

Error:
Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package xrdp-selinux-1:0.9.13-1.el8.x86_64
- nothing provides selinux-policy >= 3.14.3-41.el8_2.2 needed by xrdp-selinux-1:0.9.13-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 2: package xrdp-selinux-1:0.9.13-1.el8.x86_64 requires xrdp = 1:0.9.13-1.el8,
but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install both xrdp-1:0.9.13-2.el8.x86_64 and xrdp-1:0.9.13-1.el8.x86_64
- problem with installed package xrdp-selinux-1:0.9.13-1.el8.x86_64
- cannot install the best update candidate for package xrdp-1:0.9.13-1.el8.x86_64
- nothing provides selinux-policy >= 3.14.3-41.el8_2.2 needed by xrdp-selinux-1:0.9.13-2.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages
or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

Suggestions on what I can do - if anything?

My workaround was to remove the xrdp package (and hence the offending dependency), and then perform the update.

... and then reinstall xrdp? I would hate to lose xrdp because that is how I connect with the Centos 8 server
