Hi all , I’m quite new on Kafka, for my training environment , i try to upgrade my confluent community platform from 5.3 to 6.2 . But it doesn’t work, ```auto --> Processing Dependency: confluent-kafka-rest = 5.3.6 for package: confluent-community-2.11-5.3.6-1.noarch ---> Package confluent-kafka-rest.noarch 0:6.2.2-1 will be an update ---> Package confluent-rest-utils.noarch 0:5.3.6-1 will be updated ---> Package confluent-rest-utils.noarch 0:6.2.2-1 will be an update ---> Package confluent-schema-registry.noarch 0:5.3.6-1 will be updated --> Processing Dependency: confluent-schema-registry = 5.3.6 for package: confluent-community-2.11-5.3.6-1.noarch ---> Package confluent-schema-registry.noarch 0:6.2.2-1 will be an update --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: confluent-community-2.11-5.3.6-1.noarch (@Confluent) Requires: confluent-schema-registry = 5.3.6 Removing: confluent-schema-registry-5.3.6-1.noarch (@Confluent) confluent-schema-registry = 5.3.6-1 Updated By: confluent-schema-registry-6.2.2-1.noarch (Confluent) ``` I have updated the confluent repo ```auto [Confluent.dist] name=Confluent repository (dist) baseurl=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/6.2/7 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/6.2/archive.key enabled=1 [Confluent] name=Confluent repository baseurl=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/6.2 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/6.2/archive.key enabled=1 ``` If someone have a clue , maybe it’s to possible to upgrade directly from 5.3 to 6.2 . Thanks a lot ---

Hi @copasetik Did you already upgrade Zookeeper and the Kafka brokers? I would highly recommend to follow the steps described in the docs: > **[Confluent Platform Upgrade Checklist | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/6.2.2/installation/upgrade-checklist.html)** > > If you're upgrading from an earlier version of Confluent Platform, follow these steps. [https://docs.confluent.io/platform/6.2.2/installation/upgrade.html#upgrade-procedures](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/6.2.2/installation/upgrade.html#upgrade-procedures) Best, Michael ---

Hello Michael 😀 , Thanks for your feedback, i have already check the upgrade checklist. Last time i have perform the same operation from 5.2 to 5.3 without issue. It’s quite strange Best regards ---

mmh I think it worked as it was minor version upgrade but not you’re switching to a new release e.g. switching from Kafka 2.3 to Kafka 2.8 I assume you tried the upgrade without following the steps like first upgrading zookeeper and so on? best, michael ---

Hi all, So finally it work if you remove the confluent package and reinstall the last version. That the purpose of this topic. One last question , in case of rolling update, is it possible to have a “mix” of version confluent 5.3 with one node 6.2 ? and so one … I will close this topic Thanks again ---
