Hello Team,

Running dnf update fails with the following message:

Can you please help?

It looks like the python3.9-cryptography package is causing the issue due to the missing libunwind.so.1. You can try installing libunwind to resolve the missing library using dnf install libunwind. Alternatively, try using dnf update --skip-broken or --nobest to bypass the issue. If that doesn't help, consider downgrading python3.9-cryptography or manually adjusting dependencies without affecting Ansible. As a college student, I often find myself overwhelmed with assignments. A friend suggested domypaper.com domypaper, and I decided to give it a try. I was impressed by their prompt service and the quality of my paper. The writer clearly understood my topic and delivered exactly what I needed. I will definitely use their services again in the future!

Kind regards,

Philip.

This is if you do not want to install libunwind and update cryptography and update everything else.

@Philip Krab

We can do one thing. Something like these commands below. Please lock cryptography version since you are not having libunwind.

Then "dnf update" can be tried. It worked for me.

# dnf versionlock python3-cryptography python3.9-cryptography
