Description of problem: performing a mgaapplet --testing upgrade of a broadcom wifi'd system, resulted in a system that was unable to connect to wifi network. upgrade was performed using a wired LAN connection. system uses a Broadcom BCM4311, that requires the nonfree drivers to function. upgrade halted when installing the broadcom-wl-common package. upgrade was completed from cli (urpmi --auto-update) after a reboot to the new kernel, attempting to connect to wifi network failed drakroam reported that dkms-broadcom-wl cannot be installed. a MCC check of required packages resulted in the following packages listed as installed: kernel-desktop-6.3.4-3.mga9.x86_64 kernel-desktop-devel-6.3.4-3.mga9.x86_64 broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-66.mga8.nonfree.x86_64 dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-66.mga8.nonfree.x86_64 broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-66.mga9.nonfree.x86_64 dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-66.mga9.nonfree.x86_64 removal of the .mga8 packages resolves the issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade a broadcom based wifi system via mgaapplet --testing 2.check wifi after reboot to new kernel. 3.
Thank you for the report. The essential seems to be (good detective work): > broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-66.mga8.nonfree.x86_64 > dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-66.mga8.nonfree.x86_64 > broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-66.mga9.nonfree.x86_64 > dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-66.mga9.nonfree.x86_64 > removal of the .mga8 packages resolves the issue. This SRPM is dealt with by Thomas, so assigning this to kernel/Drivers.

conveniently just inspecting last nights re-run and upgrade has halted again at install of *dkms-broadcom-wl (2444/2485)* have just taken a journalctl -b text file. will attach the relevant part tonight.
Created attachment 13858 [details] journal from upgrade
May the non-removal of mga8 packages be caused by too late conversion of rpm db? Bug 29364 - rpmdb not converted on update to sqlite
