Description Ulrich Beckmann 2017-07-03 18:14:05 CEST
Description of problem:
# dnf upgrade does not upgrade to kernel-firmware-20170531-1.mga6.noarch.

The error message is 
'Problem: package kernel-firmware-20170531-1.mga6.noarch conflicts with kernel-firmware-extra < 20170531-1 provided by kernel-firmware-nonfree-20170422-1.mga6.nonfree.noarch'

I see various possibilities here:
a) a bug in the dnf resolver
b) an error of a package specification
c) a missing update candidate for kernel-firmware-nonfree

N.B. packagekit does upgrade in another installation, and so does urpmi.

This sounds like you don't have the nonfree repo enabled on your system.

Can you provide the CLI output of "dnf repolist"?

True. Thanks for your prompt help. It is not a bug.

Indeed, only core and update repos are activated at default (however, it's an quite old MGA6 installation, maybe it's changed already). Nor non-free or tainted.

For future releases (Mga7?) it's might be possible to link with the question in the installer to have the same repos activated in urpmi and dnf? Not sure, if that's feasible, though ;)

I wanted to have something for Mageia 6, but I've had a hard time writing a parser for urpmi.cfg to map urpmi selections to dnf ones.
