Hello everybody, I need help: I try to upgrade the follow Rocky Linux version: Operating System: Rocky Linux 9.5 (Blue Onyx) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:rocky:rocky:9::baseos Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-503.31.1.el9_5.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64 I obtain many errors like the follow: sudo dnf -y upgrade Las…

If 9.6 has finally been released, then chances are not all the mirrors have synced just yet. Solution is just wait for 24 hours at least. It seems elrepo have released packages too early, before Rocky have had chance to get their mirrors all synced.

Many thanks iwalker, now it is clear. I have to wait only… :slight_smile: Tomorrow I’ll try again.

The reason for error was (when future reader sees this) that ELRepo released packages for el9_6 before Rocky released el9_6. The workaround is to exclude the available third-party packages that are not for your system (although at this point Rocky 9.5 should no longer get any updates since RHEL is …

My mistake. Although, I would not say “too early”. The ELRepo is packages for EL and RHEL is both an EL and was out earlier.

Rocky upgraded from 9.5 to 9.6 without errors.

I confirm upgrade ends fine this morning. Many thanks to all for the clarifications. :clap:

HIya, do you think this might be causing the same thing i have… ive attached some photos… I clicked install on the first updates… althought i thought i couldnt get that version… and then today i have the 2nd image.. wotn let me install the system at all thanks [1] [2]

That is a bit different issue. The gstreamer1 has packages in both EPEL and RPM Fusion (third-party) repositories. The history is that some libraries have/had license that EPEL did not want to have. Now, a el9_6 version package in EPEL provides not only what the el9_5 version had, but also files …
