I was updating my Fedora 36, and ran into an irritating issue. I don’t think this is Qubes specific, and might be due to installing wine maybe. I’m getting a conflict with libpcap. There seems to be both the x86_64 and i686 versions already installed, and it won’t install the upgraded versions (of either, as best I can tell). If I try to remove either of them using dnf, it wants to uninstall over 1GB additional packages.
My apologies if this is a dumb question, I did search online before posting, and since such a large amount would be uninstalled, I didn’t want to pursue that option (initially anyway).
Any suggestions from the Fedora experts?
