[solved] dnf update - two errors (kernel and python)

[logg sar]

Hi there

I've installed Centos 8 and didnt use the machine for two weeks. After booting again I executed a dnf update and ran in some errors:

Code: Select all

Total                                                                                                                                          2.8 MB/s | 118 MB     00:42

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction check error:
  installing package kernel-core-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64 needs 840KB on the /boot filesystem
  installing package grub2-efi-x64-1:2.02-66.el8_0.1.x86_64 needs 842KB on the /boot filesystem

In /boot I have 33 MB free, which is obviously more then 800KB

Code: Select all

cd /boot/
df -Ph . | awk 'NR==2 {print $4}'
33M

Second error:

Code: Select all

file /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/easy_install.cpython-36.opt-1.pyc from install of python3-setuptools-39.2.0-10.el7.noarch conflicts with file from package platform-python-setuptools-39.2.0-4.el8.noarch

This repeats about 50 times.

Does anyone know this?
What should I do now?

It wants 840KB more than you have in /boot now. Look at the other kernel files in /boot now - vmlinuz-$(uname -r) and initramfs-$(uname -r) plus the other assorted files there containing the same version number. Either make your /boot bigger, remove some kernels (or adjust installonly_limit= to do so automatically).

Code: Select all

[root@centos8 ~]# ls -la /boot/*4.18.0-80.11.2* | awk '{ n=n+$5 } END {print n/(1024*1024)}'
33.7077

You've got some CentOS 7 repository configured and available and that's not correct. It's trying to install a CentOS 7 version of python3-setuptools. Don't. CentOS 7 repos should never be added to CentOS 8.

Post your "df -h" here

I resized boot and its working.
Thanks for this.

I've seen now that this package comes from the win32-repo (which isnt working right now)

Disable it, it contains packages for el7 which may break your system.
