Hello IT Director Tracy Holder,

Flush out the yum/dnf cache first and then trigger a fresh update command that might help you. Otherwise, clean the cache and check if any package conflicts, and then check for updates as shown below

# dnf clean all
# dnf check
# dnf check-update
# dnf update

If there is still a problem then try with "dnf update --nobest" command. Hope this helps!.

Hello i also have this issue running IPA on Centos Stream, bind fails to update. When running with --nobest dnf/yum just skips the bind packages.

I have run into this problem

problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package annobin

after upgrading a system from RHEL 7 to RHEL 8. There were EPEL repos still enabled from before the upgrade. Removing the EPEL repos solved my problem.

Mega solution. This is it

I'm having this issue upgrading my lab server from 8.5 to 8.6. I removed three of the packages it was complaining about but it still chokes on some other packages and the only way to get the update to go through is to use the --nobest option. I'd rather not have to rely on this going forward with production servers (this just indicates to me that 8.6 is corrupted). I only have the following repos enabled: Updating Subscription Management repositories.

repo id                                                              repo name

rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms                                     Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream (RPMs)
rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms                                        Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - BaseOS (RPMs)

Performing a 'yum clean all ' did not work.

Happened today on RHEL 8.6 on machine that serves as NAS (zfs + samba, nothing else): "dnf clean all" did not help.

Same. Just happened.

I didn't want to run --nobest.

Same for me today. I was trying to run 'dnf update samba-common --best --allowerasing' but it removes gnome-shell dependent packages.

Same here, is this a packaging issue caused by the samba team? Is there a samba team?

Same here I got it with sssd, opened a case, Bug already existed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2101982 Workaround is:

yum update --exclude=samba* --exclude=libwbclient

But "Status: CLOSED CANTFIX" is a bit irritating

Same problem with samba packages.

Do we have to wait for an update from RedHat ?

Hi guys,

Execute sudo dnf upgrade --exclude=samba* as a workaround until the dependency issues are resolved. :)

I tried what dnf suggested and used the --nobest option. That seemed to fully update my system with the exception of samba. [root@warhawk ~]# dnf check-update Updating Subscription Management repositories. Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:35 ago on Wed 29 Jun 2022 09:09:13 AM EDT.

I can live with that for now.

If you are using a Satellite, you need to sync the repository again on that server.

Seems to be working direct on my test system, will have to resync my Satellite server and check there as well.. But seems to be progress.
