Hello, I have been running a fedora installation on my laptop for a while now without issue, but today when I tried to update with dnf it ran without problem the first time, and then i reboot and try ones more, and now it complains about protected packages.
Version: 6.11.11-300.fc41.x86_64 Fedora 41
This happens when I try to update:
sudo dnf update
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev
Nothing to do.
I also tried distro-sync
sudo dnf distro-sync
Updating and loading repositories:
Fedora 41 - x86_64 - Updates 100% | 45.8 KiB/s | 25.8 KiB | 00m01s
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf5, selinux-policy-targeted, systemd, systemd-udev
You can try to add to command line:
--skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages
–skip-broken didn’t change anything
I have been searching around, but haven’t tried anything yet, since I don’t want to mess with systemd unless I for sure know it is the right thing to do.
I am clueless on this one, but if there is any information lacking in the post, please tell and I will provide it.
Thank you!
