I think it is should upgrade some openssl-about packages synchronously: ```auto openssl openssl-libs openssl-devel ``` Hope community fix this defect. Thanks very much. Addtionally, how can I resolve errors above? ---

> [@LkyLky](#): > > When I exec :`dnf install clang-devel rpm-devel zlib-devel`, my rpm command is upgraded automatically! This is expected when you’re running older versions of packages. My guess: You are running 10.0 and haven’t fully updated. The only way around this is to do the following: - Download and boot your system into the [Rocky Linux 10.0 DVD](https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/10.0/isos/x86_64/Rocky-10.0-x86_64-dvd1.iso) (yes, the DVD) - When entering rescue mode, it will ask you what to do - Select “1” to continue as it mentions /mnt/sysroot is where your system should be mounted - do NOT run chroot - Run `cd /run/install/repo/BaseOS/Packages` - Run the following: ```auto % rpm --root=/mnt/sysroot -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles --oldpackage rpm-sequoia-1.6.0-6.el10.x86_64.rpm ``` - Reboot your system You should then be able to run `dnf update` to get to 10.1 and resolve your issue. ---
