A large number of updates are currently being offered, however when I attempt to install them, I receive the following error:

    ======================
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Those are not our packages, and we don’t have any control over it.

If you’re not using of the AWS features of Virtualmin, you could remove that package. If you do need AWS features…I dunno. I guess wait on the packages to get fixed. You could also upgrade all the other stuff that doesn’t conflict with that package.

I had the same issue, use command line to do the update and it gives you some options after the fail to use, using a couple of them got it to work for me.

We encountered the same issue.

On OUR system at least, the python3-botocore was only being used by the awscli package. Therefore, we simply excluded it from updating to new install updates. This is probably the least problematic way to handle the update.

dnf update -x python3-botocore

Try dnf update python3-botocore --allowerasing

It was erase awscli and install python3-botocore
then run 'dnf update and it will install awscli again, prob a later version.

Ignore, the python3-botocore issue did come back but it did update my awscli ::slight_smile:

Thanks to all who replied.
The final solution proposed by "stefan1959’ allowed the update to complete. (Running ‘dnf update’ afterwards didn’t do anything but the constant reminder to update a package has been resolved.)
