Hi, guys. Still working towards install of Backuppc on my Fedora. I
apologize that I got Fedora and Redhat mixed up. I definitely am
using Fedora!
At the end of the day today I somehow got it in my head that the
COPR/EPEL installers required Fedora 26. It's all new to me so
please excuse.
Ahh, so no, if you're running Fedora 26 then you don't need the COPR at all. I am maintaining 4.X on F26 and up (for now that just means Rawhide too, but that will be branched for Fedora 27 in the near future).
But I got this conflict during the upgrade process, which did not
complete:
[SKIPPED] js-jquery-3.2.1-1.fc26.noarch.rpm: Already
downloaded
Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next
successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction check error:

Error Summary
Those conflicts are with the 3ware 3dm2 software and the 3ware
status, which aren't working anyway. I couldn't get them to work.
Those are the GUIs for the 3ware raid card (3ware was bought by
Broadcom). I've tried all the standard and nonstandard methods for
removing those packages and could not remove them. Any ideas how to
remove these packages? So I'm using the CLI for the card and it
works, ok.
This is basically because the 3ware packages are apparently *very poorly* packaged. They should not be trying to claim ownership of the root "/", /usr/sbin, or /etc/init.d directories. If they have an upstream you should let them know that.
---------
All right, back to Fedora 25 and backuppc :-)
If you want to run Fedora 25 then yes, you'll need to enable my COPR per the dnf instructions on the right hand side.
Thanks,
Richard
