hplib complaint with fedora-28 qube manager update , what to do?

[John S.Recdep]

Hello,

The following below was/is after using a manually opened xterm that
successfully runs $sudo dnf update
and closing the template/s ....


The Qubes Manager is showing green dots on the Fed-28 (Q4.0.1?)
templates needing update but:

when I use the QManager to update I am seeing some complaint about hplip

I tried to highlight and copy it but any clicking in the xterm and it
disappears .....

start a terminal for the template gives me this:

[user@fedora-28 ~]$ sudo dnf upgrade

It's an upstream bug: net-snmp-libs is still in testing. You can wait
for it to reach stable or run (as suggested)
dnf --best --allowerasing --enablerepo=updates-testing update hplip

Keep an eye out to see if anything is being removed.

...and if anything qubes-* related is removed, dnf install those packages *before* restarting the template.

(yes, I've been burned by that before)

If it doesn't effect security or break anything I can wait.

BTW, in the past I've never done $sudo dnf upgrade is this
really necessary?

Have always wondering if the scheme was similar to the debian
dist-upgrade , which Does seem to be required but somehow on Fedora
seems it might not be ?



Lastly, is Fedora-29 going to be officially recommended as a upgrade
sometime / somewhere soon ?
