Hello, 

The "dnf upgrade" command try to upgrade the package system present in your environment.

The cause of the issue is a conflict between package.

From the first row of the log, i replace it in sequence:

file /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/easy_install.cpython-36.opt-1.pyc

from install of python3-setuptools-39.2.0-10.el7.noarch

conflicts with file from package

platform-python-setuptools-39.2.0-6.el8.noarch

The explanation is easy.

A file present in the package "python3-setuptools-39.2.0-10.el7.noarch", conflicts with the package "platform-python-setuptools-39.2.0-6.el8.noarch"

Please look the extension of the first package:

python3-setuptools-39.2.0-10.el7.noarch 

el7 = Red Hat Enteprise Linux 7

el8 = Red Hat Enteprise Linux 8

---

Conclusion:

Your upgrade fails because there is a conflict package version 7 VS version 8.

Potentially solution:

- Clear the cache of the system, please read the man before to procede (man dnf).

- Check the repository if is corrected configured.

- Try to procede with single dnf update.

- If in your system are present 3rd part package that can potentially conflict with the update, check how their influence the process.

Bye

Hello, 

I'm sorry but from the screenshot i can't see very well the conflict.

Please if is possible:

- Connect via ssh on the virtual machine

- Paste here the command that you use

- Run the command.

- Past here part of the output.

Thanks and bye
