I am trying to install the lattest armadillo version. From the package list I can see rawhide 7.100.3-2.fc25.

I run Fedora 23 and cannot manage to install this package directly. So following this postI did

dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide
dnf install --enablerepo rawhide armadillo

I get: 

Last metadata expiration check: 1:16:40 ago on Tue May 31 18:20:30 2016.
Package armadillo-6.700.6-1.fc23.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

How can I install using dnf the proper package ?

You need to use update, since your package is already installed:

dnf update --enablerepo rawhide armadillo

  • This does not seem to be working, the proposed version is `6.700.6-1.fc25` – statquant May 31 '16 at 20:30
  • The latest version was build today, so it is not available in mirrors, or you have cached information in your computer. Try to wait, `dnf clean metadata` to refresh data or download the package directly from [koji](http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=769565) – Jakuje May 31 '16 at 20:33
  • I tried to get the .rpm already but it cannot be installed due to dependencies – statquant May 31 '16 at 20:37
  • If the dependencies are already in rawhide repository, you can install the with the downloaded package using `dnf update --enablerepo rawhide path-to.rpm`. But note that it is not recommended to mix packages from different release versions. – Jakuje May 31 '16 at 21:27
