Need strategy for FC30 - FC33 upgrade to avoid python-lxml issue

[StefanJ]

I have a little compact PC running MythTV-30 under Fedora Linux.

I noticed it hadn't been getting updates for awhile, saw it was still running FC30, and figured it was time for an upgrade. I tried upgrading to FC33 at first, ran into a dependency issue, tried again with FC32. Still got the issue:

Code: Select all

[root@mythtwo ~]# dnf system-upgrade --nogpgcheck download --skip-broken --releasever=32
Before you continue ensure that your system is fully upgraded by running "dnf --refresh upgrade". Do you want to continue [y/N]: y

Error: 
 Problem: package python2-MythTV-30.0-12.20190904git5cde0578d8.fc30.noarch requires python2-lxml, but none of the providers can be installed
  - python2-lxml-4.2.5-2.fc30.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - problem with installed package python2-MythTV-30.0-12.20190904git5cde0578d8.fc30.noarch

It looks like the python2-lxml isn't available in FC32 or FC33.

If I try to remove python2-lxml, it wants to remove MythTV as well, so it is not a trivial package.

I understand that MythTV-31 supports python3.

Any suggestions as to how to do an upgrade?

I've never used Fedora but if it is anything like the *buntus.... you should refresh upgrade to latest in same point release before hitting the system upgrade red button.

Ubuntu has packages:
python-lxml (python2)
python3-lxml

I could imagine you have to uninstall mythtv before you can proceed.

You could study the mythtv developers buildbot reports.

Latest MythTV is successfully building on Fedora something.
