[Solved] MGA8 upgrade failed due to lib64pyldb-util and ....
Posted: Jul 2nd, '21, 21:21
Current install is MGA7 which, as I recall, was made fresh on a new machine with user data imported after the fact. Have waited on upgrading to MGA8 due to travel and needing the machine available (aside: MGA7 EOL this soon after MGA8 availability is not optimal).
Tried manually starting the gui upgrade process. Received numerous error messages, some excerpts of which I paste here:
Uninstalling python3 seems not to be the right solution (numerous dependencies).
On a lark, I decided to try the dnf command line solution. That failed for a different reason: insufficient space on /boot because it wanted to install a large number of kernels (~10?). Is there a reason it insists on installing every possible kernel?
Regardless, I'd like to upgrade if I can get around either of these issues. Any help would be appreciated.
