Fedora 38 nightly requires libfmt.so.10

Software

When trying to upgrade the KiCad nightly package from copr, I get the following:

Problem: package kicad-nightly-7.99.0-1.20230802git3428bd8.fc38.x86_64 from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:group_kicad:kicad requires libfmt.so.10()(64bit)
, but none of the providers can be installed

It seems that libfmt version 10 is only available in fedora 39 (rawhide), while 38 has version 9.
Does KiCad really need version 10, or has there been a mistake in the package build, that the package for fedora 38 got the requirement of version 10 carried over from the package for fedora 39?

Has someone successfully installed the nightly from august 1 or 2 on fedora 38, and if so, how did you do it?

This is a temporary packaging issue that should get resolved soon. KiCad is not supposed to rely on a dynamic libfmt but for a window of time it did because of an unrelated change.

A new build with this issue corrected is in progress and should be ready for use in about 4 or 5 hours.
