Re: fc40 beta kernel update to 6.8.5-301 produces errors
Thanks Samuel. I know those first commands you referenced are not equivalent. Adam's note above helps me understand I should use a different approach for elements in testing. Re: the up/down grading of packages. It seems this is due to my above approach. I downloaded a beta, but then treated it as released sw as far as trying to keep things up-to-date. My approach got me in a weird state.

Thanks Adam...very helpful! I'll keep that in mind for running prereleases or components otherwise in testing. -- ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

This means you wind up with a lot of downgrades, because you have packages from updates-testing installed, but now it's disabled. It's an unfortunate recurring issue, but I can't see an obvious way to resolve it. Downgrades aren't generally as tested or reliable as upgrades, so yeah, this can cause problems. The usual ways to avoid the problem are: re- enable updates-testing after the fedora-repos update that disables it (if you're fine with continuing to help test updates), or wait for the final release freeze to lift shortly before release (whereupon most of the updates that are currently stuck behind the freeze will go stable and you mostly won't get any downgrades when doing distro-sync any more). And, of course, you can just use `dnf update` or `dnf upgrade` instead of `distro-sync` while we're in this state.
