I’ve searched the various forums for an answer.

I am at the end of my research into this.

Exactly what is going on?

And how can I get beyond this issue?

Did you run dnf clean all?

No. at what point in the process should it be run?

Phil

I ran it first then the wget and then the shell command.

Then I get this.

Am I doing the correct steps? In the correct order?

You can approach the problem from different angle, e.g.:

wget https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/yum/webmin-2.105-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uiv webmin-2.105-1.noarch.rpm

nope,still fails with same error……

getting pretty frustrated now. the fact that one package will prevent a system upgrade and will not uninstall is very serious.

The right command would be:

rpm -Uvh --nosignature webmin-2.105-1.noarch.rpm

OK, finally got some progress! The upgrade is progressing. That seemed to do the trick.

Will let you know when I complete the upgrade.

Thanks for hanging in there with me
