I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Fedora 41, but I cannot get a clean update state in the current

"dnf update" again resulted in installation of most of these, but also reported:

I have tried "dnf update --allowerasing", "dnf update --obsoletes", and even "dnf 
autoremove", but nothing gets rid of these problems.

I have made no changes to any of the config files in fedora-repos-40-2.noarch.

I am very reluctant to attempt an upgrade to Fedora 41 with the system not in a 
cleanly updated state. What to do??
This looks similar to the "Fails to install" bug which was
filed today (but said to be a non-issue by the maintainer):

     https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2341710

If the package is to be obsoleted, it seems to me that the
qt5 subpackage also needs to be obsoleted.  Ignoring this
for the duration of F40 would seem to be inappropriate, IMO.

Perhaps someone affected will care to update that ticket to
note that the obsolets appear to be incomplete, at least.
The issue with qgnomeplatform makes it look like the maintainer hasn't bothered to produce a qt6 version, or as indicated it doesn't obsolete the qt5 version. While removing the conflicting package usually removes the conflict issue, it is not necessarily a good idea as if qgnomeplatform was a manual install for a specific purpose, the equivalent package may not be installed with the upgrade to F41, and hence will be required to be reinstalled after researching what actually needs to be installed. This sort of thing shouldn't be need to be done, especially if the package is unique to Fedora, or if as I have found on several occasions, where the package name is not unique to Fedora, install instructions for Ubuntu or any other linux distribution don't necessarily work for Fedora.

regards,
Steve
