Ok, now I need some help.
I'm trying to upgrade a machine to F27 but the upgrade process keeps
bitching about two packages: ICAClient-13.3.0.344519-0.x86
<tel:13.3.0.344519-0.x86>_64 and
aether-ant-tasks-1:1.0.1-6.fc26.noarch.
The first one does not show up as installed in dnf, rpm, yum or pkcon
and I surely don't recall installing it.
The second one shows up as installed in dnf from the command line (a
local package), but it will NOT allow me to remove it:
[root@golem4 bin]# dnf list aether-ant-tasks

No match for argument: aether-ant-tasks
Error: No packages marked for removal.
You've probably already figured this out, but ICAClient is the Citrix
receiver app package.
For aether-ant-tasks, I guess we have to figure out what part of the
removal is failing: rpm -e -vvvv aether-ant-tasks
If it's just listed in the rpm database, but there are no files on the
file system, looks like we could do rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts --justdb
aether-ant-tasks
Well, after much ado (rebooting several times, rebuilding rpm databases,
flushing every damned cache I could find, and removing anything having
to do with Maven), I've been able to get the thing to download and it's
going through the update process now (1,633 of 11,032 packages
completed).
Thanks for all the help, gang. It took brute force and the dreaded
BFH (big f***ing hammer) to get it to behave.
As one of my .sig lines says, "If you can't beat your computer at chess,
try kickboxing." More or less exactly what I did. Turns out it has a
glass jaw. :-)
