I'm trying to upgrade to Fedora 40, but I'm running into an odd error:
Error: Problem: package freerdp-2:2.11.2-1.fc39.x86_64 from @System requires libwinpr(x86-64) = 2:2.11.2-1.fc39, but none of the providers can be installed - libwinpr-2:2.11.2-1.fc39.x86_64 from @System does not belong to a distupgrade repository - problem with installed package freerdp-2:2.11.2-1.fc39.x86_64
The odd part is that both packages are available in Fedora 40.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks,

That is odd. I just checked my system that I upgraded yesterday and I do have freerdp installed. Did you do an update before trying the version upgrade? And are you using `system-upgrade` to do it?

Yes to both questions.

I seem to recall a similar problem about 6 months ago. Do you have updates-testing repo enabled?
Also see < https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/... and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2249809. The mailing list thread and bug report was for libddcutil.so.4, but it looks like you have the same problem.

Ok, that might explain the difference. I do, and that's where it came from.

I do not. But, I do have enabled: - rpmfusion-free - rpmfusion-free-updates - rpmfusion-nonfree - rpmfusion-nonfree-updates - microsoft-edge-betaca - fedora-cisco-openh26 - fedora-updates
Also see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproj ect.org/thread/4DUFV4MHSOXNFYAESVOQKFKAAPBI7VMB/ and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2249809. The mailing list thread and bug report was for libddcutil.so.4, but it looks like you have the same problem.
I read some of those links. If I'm hitting the same type of bug, I don't know why I'm hitting it. :/
I can remove the problematic 'libwinpr' package and try the system upgrade again, but it will also remove: - freerdp-server - gnome-remote-desktop - freerdp-libs - libvncserver
No biggie, I suppose, since I can put them back afterwards.
I'd still like to know what's wrong.

Try enabling the updates-testing repo and see if that resolves the problem.

So, um, I figured out what my problem was. I was excluding those packages from updates because the newest release of freerdp in Fedora 39 was a big, crashy crash fest.
After I submitted a bug report about it, someone replied to it saying they had the same problem. But, he was able to workaround it by downgrading to the previous release. Thus, I did the same and blocked it from being updated.
How embarrassing!
