Upgrading to Fedora 24

[andreimaxim]

Note: I don't think this is a bug with the infinality-ultimate-fedora project, it's more like an upgrade issue but I'm documenting here the steps that I had to make for the upgrade to work.

The upgrade to Fedora 24 after installing the infinality packages is broken. The /var/log/dnf.log shows the following error:

dnf.exceptions.Error: Transaction check error:
  file /etc/fonts/conf.d/README from install of fontconfig-2.11.94-6.fc24.x86_64 conflicts with file from package fontconfig-infinality-ultimate-2.11.94-4.fc23.i686
  file /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf from install of fontconfig-2.11.94-6.fc24.x86_64 conflicts with file from package fontconfig-infinality-ultimate-2.11.94-4.fc23.i686

I resolved this problem replacing the infinality-ultimate packages with the standard ones:

$ sudo dnf install --allowerasing cairo freetype

If you see that the infinality-ultimate packages are used (they shouldn't) then disable the repo with the following command:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled infinality-ultimate

In my specific case, I wasn't able to replace fontconfig package due to the error above, so I had to manually remove it and re-install it:

$ sudo rpm --nodeps -e fontconfig-infinality-ultimate

(You might get a message from RPM saying there are two packages installed, one for i686 and one for x86_64, remove them both). Download the fontconfig-2.11.94 RPM and use rpm -Uhv to install it. The upgrade progress should work after that.

For completeness' sake, I also had to download the RPMFusion RPMs for Fedora 24 before attempting the upgrade otherwise some dependencies could not be resolved.

It's a problem with fontconfig-infinality-ultimate, nothing that dnf can do about. It cannot have file conflicts with system packages. This will break upgrades.
