Summary | 0009043: cannot update | ||||
Description | A new update showed up 12mar25 and I tried to download. It fails with the message: [root@grotto ~]# dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 1:36:26 ago on Thu Mar 13 14:30:59 2025. Error: Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package libxml2-devel-2.9.13-6.el9_5.1.x86_64 - nothing provides libxml2(x86-64) = 2.9.13-6.el9_5.2 needed by libxml2-devel-2.9.13-6.el9_5.2.x86_64 from appstream (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) [root@grotto ~]# As this is a library, I can't tell if this new version is needed by any of the other updates (including kernel, firefox, and thunderbird) I didn't spot anything related to this in the current issues (especially since the report would have had to happen very recently) Thanks in advance, Paul | ||||

Thank you for the report. It is likely the mirror(s) you are connecting to have not fully synced yet. You can try to run dnf clean all and try updating again to see if you connect to another mirror that may have the updates. Below I tried to install libxml2-devel or update libxml2 in general and had no issues.

Louis: Reopening for the purpose of thanking you for the prompt reply. "Dnf clean all" worked as you suggested and I am now fully updated Given that I waited 24 to do the update as it was a kernel (old habit when things were less stable), I am a bit surprised the mirror wasn't synced. But then again, I know nothing about how mirrors work so maybe this is par for the course (but if so its the first time its happened to me) Best, Paul |
