overview for milon

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.

Can't update to Fedora Silverblue 42 in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Also, as I reinstall a flathub version of LibreOffice, should I choose the Fedora repo or Flathub repo?

It worked! I uninstalled dnf-automatic, libreoffice, and rpmfusion and then restarted.

Thanks for your help! Will keep your tips in mind for the future and try to avoid layering.

So basically it's not allowing me to update because of these layered packages and every time I want to update, I have to uninstall them and reinstall after I update?

Problem is I don't know what the packages are or what they were for even. I don't recall installing them.

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

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