Today, when I ran a "dnf update", I got these messages:

Skipping packages with broken dependencies:

I can uninstall the old PostgreSQL versions, but I would like to keep them, since
I sometimes have to investigate problems with old versions.
Is that conflict deliberate? I admit that I don't quite understand where it comes from.
Yours,

So that is somewhat off-topic here. The message is annoying though. I never got such errors before. Yours, Laurenz Albe
