Error when rebasing from Fedora 40 to 41 (Atomic Desktop)

Greetings. I’d like to check out the Fedora 41 beta on my Silverblue system, and as usual, I tried to perform a rebase:

$ sudo rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/41/x86_64/silverblue

The process goes on for a short while, before it errors out:

error: Could not depsolve transaction; 3 problems detected:

I’m confused: why is GNOME Shell 46 seemingly attempted installed? Why are some necessary packages seemingly missing altogether?

In case it provides useful context, here’s the output when I run rpm-ostree status:

Thanks in advance.

It’s likely because of the packages you have layered. I would try removing those, rebasing, then re-layering them.

F41’s default console is now ptyxis (not gnome-terminal), so that’s in Silverblue. You might find you like that as much as or better than gnome-console, and don’t need to layer that any more.

Thanks for the pointer. I just tried it, as well as doing some cleaning with rpm-ostree cleanup, but I’m somehow still facing the same issue.

Current rpm-ostree status:

I’ve also discovered that I apparently can’t even perform upgrades. If i run rpm-ostree upgrade, I get this:

error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:

Seems like the secret trick was

$ rpm-ostree reset

I have no idea why that worked, but I’m glad it did, haha!
