I get this message:

@apollo18 that particular error output looks like the version of rpm-ostree (or something it depends on) is crashing. An rpm-ostree upgrade and then rebooting might help solve that particular error? Also, rpm-ostree status output might help be useful for people who can help you (I’m not one of those unfortunately).

While I don’t experience the strange error that you see, I do see the following dependency conflict error:

Does anyone know if there’s some rpm-ostree incantation to get around that?

Here’s my current deployment info:

$ rpm-ostree status

@grumpey did reference a command that helped me to resolve the issue:

 rpm-ostree override remove libavcodec-free libavfilter-free libavformat-free libavutil-free libpostproc-free libswresample-free libswscale-free --install ffmpeg
