Error: Transaction test error

Ask Fedora
1

Trying to update from Fedora 39 to 40 or 41 and I have run acress a problem that I have never experienced before. I do
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh then
sudo dnf system-upgrade download -y --skip-broken --allowerasing --releasever=40
then it starts Downloading Packages
it makes it’s way to package (3725/3725) then
Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing ‘dnf clean packages’

It all looks good until…
Error: Transaction test error

I’ve tried everything from DNF Clean to RPM clean, etc. Just can’t figure it out. Appreciate any assistance cause I can’t upgrade at all.

Here is the error report:

This issue has been discussed here. You can also find there a workaround, until the issue gets fixed.

Thanks Mike. That helped a lot.

However, I still have three other errors left that are preventing the install and they are:

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Much appreciated.

You’re welcome.

Did you change the upgrade approach, and you’re trying to upgrade now from F39 directly to F41?

Either way, how did you install the nVidia drivers? Could you also share the output of dnf repolist, and that of dnf list installed "*nvidia*"?

Yes I need to get to 41 so I got a bit impatient. Is it better to go to 40 first?

The system wont let me send another post

7

When I try to paste the terminal output it says: ‘An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only mention 2 users in a post.’

8

Maybe if I write out the content…

akmod-nvidia.x86_64
golang-github-nvidia-container–toolkit.x86_64

Skipping one major version with system upgrades is officially supported.

That’s because your account is new, and there are measures in place to prevent spam. Instead of posting terminal screenshots, it’s always better to post the output as preformatted text. If that’s what you’ve tried and the post still gets rejected, it could be that you’re using links, which are restricted. Try using the preformatted text (</>) button, and paste the text by overwriting the type or paste code here text, and also remove links before pasting if necessary.

Ca you confirm that you’ve installed the nVidia drivers via RPM Fusion (the recommended way)? If so, I don’t know how system upgrades are handled for RPM-Fusion packages, but it should work.

You could try temporarily uninstalling the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda package (and egl-x11, if needed), and then reinstall after successful system-upgrade.

I won’t be available for a couple of hours, but please post your results, someone else might join the conversation in the meantime.

You could try temporarily uninstalling the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda package (and egl-x11, if needed), and then reinstall after successful system-upgrade.

That did the trick, Mike. I deleted those two things and was able to start the upgrade and I’m now at 22%.

I’ll let you know if there are any other issues but I think I’m good now and thanks so much for your assistance with this. I’ve never run into a problem upgrading Fedora so this was very unusual.

I appreciate you and all the other people who stand behind what has become my absolute favorite operating system.

Cheers
