Forbidden base package replacements:

  libstdc++ 10.1.1-1.fc32 -> 10.0.1-0.11.fc32 (fedora)
This likely means that some of your layered packages have requirements on newer or older versions of some base packages. Doing `rpm-ostree cleanup -m` and `rpm-ostree upgrade` first may help. For more details, see: https://github.com/projResolving dependencies... done

Would you like to work on the issue?

I can work but i do not know how to fix it, but I can try it.

Thanks for the report. I've moved this to the Fedora CoreOS tracker, as it is an issue with the packages/repositories there.

This is a duplicate of #400, which is a larger problem between ostree and Fedora repositories.

In general, you shouldn't be installing perl or anything else directly on the host system. Instead, please consider bringing whatever Perl application you have on your radar into a container.

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #400. @ricardo-rod if you are dealing with some third-party Perl application, my suggestion would be reach out on their forum about how to run that from a container.
