I am currently running Fedora Silverblue 42 with Gnome 48 installed. I saw that the update to Silverblue 43 was available on Software, and decided to update, but whenever I try to do so, I get the following error:
Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides system-release(42) needed by rpmfusion-nonfree-release-42-1.noarch from @commandline
I tried to update through rebase on CLI to see if it would help in any way, but I get the following response (with the command, for reference):
rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/43/x86_64/silverblue

Before coming here to ask for help I tried researching the problem, and landed on the following thread on the forum:
I attempted the appointed solution, but could not find any success on it. I also tried to uninstall “rpmfusion-nonfree-release-42-1.noarch” to see if it was a conflict with a repository I added and the system’s, but then I got an error telling me that ffmpeg could not be found. I checked and the system still had rpmfusion-free-release installed, which should provide ffmpeg.
[1]
The only thing that changed by performing the declared solution was that instead of the error stating the lack of two packages, I now only have the lack for one, the one mentioned above.
Some possibly relevant changes I have done in the past are:
Enabling rpmfusion, in order to layer Steam through rpm-ostree
sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
I also added Terra repository, in order to install ES-DE using the following command
curl -fsSL https://github.com/terrapkg/subatomic-repos/raw/main/terra.repo | pkexec tee /etc/yum.repos.d/terra.repo
sudo rpm-ostree install terra-release
I am using a Thinkpad T14 gen 1, with Ryzen pro 7 4750u and 16gb of RAM.
Fedora is running alone on the SSD without any other OS installed.
I currently have no updates remaining to be installed, with everything up to date, both on Software and on “rpm-ostree update”.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help.
Note that ffmpeg is currently installed on my system, but this error appears after the uninstall. ↩︎
