From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't update to Fedora Silverblue 42 (lemm.ee)

I am trying to update from Silverblue 41 to 42 (fully updated) but run into issues when attempting to update from both the software app and from CLI.

The problem using the software app is the same as what is described by this other user, who is using Fedora Workstation not Silverblue like I am:

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/update-to-fedora-42-fails-in-gnome-software/148885

When I click the download button, it looks like it's downloading multiple files since the progress bar goes from 0 to 100 several times, and then it gets up to 95% then suddenly returns to the download button. This happens in about 30 seconds.

Using the CLI method, I run the following command:

rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/42/x86_64/silverblue

and get the following errors:

 Problem: conflicting requests
  - package dnf5-plugin-automatic-5.2.12.0-2.fc42.x86_64 from updates requires libcurl-full(x86-64), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package dnf5-plugin-automatic-5.2.12.0-1.fc42.x86_64 from fedora requires libcurl-full(x86-64), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package dnf5-plugin-automatic-5.2.12.0-2.fc42.x86_64 from updates-archive requires libcurl-full(x86-64), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package libcurl-minimal-8.11.1-4.fc42.x86_64 from @System conflicts with libcurl(x86-64) provided by libcurl-8.11.1-4.fc42.x86_64 from fedora

SOLUTION: Uninstalled layered packages in dnf-automatic, libreoffice, and rpmfusion and then restarted. Rebase command successfully completed thereafter.

Do you have "dnf" installed specifically? What layered packages do you have? I ran rpm -qa on my system and didn't find any packages containing "dnf"

Also not sure if it's useful but here's my ostree remote list --show-urls output:

fedora          https://ostree.fedoraproject.org/
fedora-compose  https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/ostree/repo/

I also always have the same issue trying to use the UI. I had to use rpm-ostree rebase for the upgrade to 41 and 42, but it worked for me with no issues.

Turns out the issue was with one or some of the layered packages I had. After uninstalling, the CLI method to upgrade worked. See the post below, but thanks for your reply.
