Hey Everyone, I tried updating Fedora Silverblue using ‘rpm-ostree upgrade’
and got this error message:

Can someone help me get past this?

Hello @jkemp ,
Have you tried the usual, rpm-ostree cleanup -bpm ? It can help with funky cache and transactional issues on your side. rpm-ostree refresh-md is specifically for metadata to clean it up for repo info. The try the update again. Also, if you have any layered package that needs systemd stuff, or configuration to similar that could be a culprit.?
