  • @klarre, you should fix your copy & paste process to avoid introducing additional line-breaks!
  • Well, so what: Remove the package gnu-bash first, then. Edit: Not a good workaround, if that works at all.
  • See above!
  • IIRC an answer has been provided multiple times in this forum, already: Please do search first!

pkcon --allow-reinstall seems to be needed.

Of course I searched the forum first. Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It helped me solve it.

Well then let us play this nice for others and document the correct answer: I edited mine again, you might mark this as “solution”, if it reflects what solved it for you.

Has there anything changed with 4.5.0? I get an error when trying that.

Fatal error: the to be installed busybox-symlinks-bash-1.34.1+git2-1.8.1.jolla.armv7hl conflicts with ‘gnu-bash’ provided by the installed gnu-bash-5.0.18+git2-1.7.1.jolla.armv7hl

Not AFAICS, because the relevant lines in both sources have not been changed since mind 2020:

But …

I get an error when trying that.

… there must be some difference, as this has been working many times before.

Please check on you Pro1:

pkcon download . busybox-symlinks-bash
rpm -q --conflicts|--obsoletes|--requires busybox-symlinks-bash-1.34.1+git2-1.8.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm

pkcon download . gnu-bash
rpm -q --conflicts|--obsoletes|--requires gnu-bash-5.0.18+git2-1.7.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm

I.e., run for both packages each of the three rpm -q sub-options consecutively, one at a time.
I am curious what the output is; please mind to clearly mark which output results from which run, when you copy it here.

To resolve this practically , you might try the inferior (compared to --allow-reinstall), two stepped process:
pkcon remove gnu-bash && pkcon -allow-reinstall install busybox-symlinks-bash

I haven’t tried the practical part yet, because the initial reason to switch back isn’t there anymore.
