Upgrade blocker /usr/bin/WebKitWebDriver

[RS]

When trying to upgrade to Fedora 37 Beta with the system-upgrade Plugin like so:

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=37

I get the following error:

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/WebKitWebDriver from install of webkit2gtk4.1-2.37.91-1.fc37.x86_64 conflicts with file from package webkit2gtk3-2.38.0-2.fc36.x86_64
  file /usr/bin/WebKitWebDriver from install of webkit2gtk5.0-2.37.91-1.fc37.x86_64 conflicts with file from package webkit2gtk3-2.38.0-2.fc36.x86_64

Hello,

have you fully updated your system before trying to perform the upgrade?

The recommended workflow is:

1. dnf update --refresh
   2. dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=37

You might want to use the following arguments with the second command that
will remove conflicting packages and that might help you with the upgrade.

1. --allowerasing
   2. --skip-broken

I tried the suggested additional arguments but it didn´t change the output.

Maybe it is helpful to add that the testing machine uses the updates-testing repository like so:

dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing

The problem is that you have a package from updates-testing installed, but
you don't have the repo enabled (I simulated the problem above exactly in
this case). So when upgrading to F37, it doesn't include that repo, and
then dependencies fail. Either enable updates-testing, so that the upgrade
process uses it even for F37, or distrosync all your F36 packages back to
their stable versions and only then upgrade.

That was the problem. I enabled the testing repo and the upgrade process finished successfully. Thank you
