Unable to update packages with dnf update on CentOS 8 on IBM Cloud. I get the following error:
[root@syasuda ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004 (Core)
[root@syasuda ~]# dnf update
Last metadata expiration check: 2:23:09 ago on Mon Sep 28 18:34:38 2020.
Error:
Problem: cannot install both centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.2.el8.noarch and centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.noarch
- package centos-repos-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.x86_64 requires centos-gpg-keys = 8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best update candidate for package centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.noarch
- problem with installed package centos-repos-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
This seems to be due to centos-gpg-keys.
[root@syasuda ~]# dnf update centos-gpg-keys

centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.noarch : CentOS Linux RPM keys
Repo : @System
Matched from:
Provide : centos-gpg-keys = 8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8
centos-gpg-keys-8.2-2.2004.0.2.el8.noarch : CentOS Linux RPM keys
Repo : BaseOS
Matched from:
Provide : centos-gpg-keys = 8.2-2.2004.0.2.el8
If you try updating with the --allowerasing option forcibly, various files including / etc / passwd will be updated, so it is better to stop (I think)
[root@syasuda ~]# dnf update centos-gpg-keys --allowerasing

--Add ʻexclude = centos-gpg-keys to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf` because you don't have to update centos-gpg-keys.
