Hello Rocky Forum. I am currently running on Rocky Linux 9 as per the output below: ```auto cat /etc/os-release NAME="Rocky Linux" VERSION="9.2 (Blue Onyx)" ID="rocky" ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora" VERSION_ID="9.2" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9" PRETTY_NAME="Rocky Linux 9.2 (Blue Onyx)" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" LOGO="fedora-logo-icon" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:rocky:rocky:9::baseos" HOME_URL="https://rockylinux.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.rockylinux.org/" SUPPORT_END="2032-05-31" ROCKY_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Rocky-Linux-9" ROCKY_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="9.2" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Rocky Linux" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="9.2" ``` When i run the upgrade command, i get the following error: ```auto sudo dnf -y upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 1:19:13 ago on Mon 24 Jul 2023 06:23:24 PM EAT. Error: Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package kf5-ki18n-5.105.0-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by kf5-ki18n-5.105.0-3.el9.next.x86_64 Problem 2: cannot install the best update candidate for package kf5-kiconthemes-5.105.0-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides libQt5Gui.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by kf5-kiconthemes-5.105.0-3.el9.next.x86_64 Problem 3: cannot install the best update candidate for package kf5-kxmlgui-5.105.0-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by kf5-kxmlgui-5.105.0-3.el9.next.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) ``` I know this might be a straight forward answer, but please help me understand how we solve these kinds of errors on “nothing provides” such and such package. ---

You are attempting to use EPEL next that is meant for CentOS Stream (or 9.3, which is not available until november). It is recommended to disable the epel next repository. ---

Thank you so much @label I have managed to disable the epel-next repository: ```auto sudo yum-config-manager --disable epel-next ``` Then running the command: ```auto sudo dnf upgrade -y Last metadata expiration check: 1:39:15 ago on Mon 24 Jul 2023 06:23:24 PM EAT.

@Jil I suggest to remove the epel-next repo/release files at all. `dnf remove epel-next-release`
