The merge script fails when upgrading from F41.

Here’s a way to force it from a text TTY: Ctrl+Alt+F5

  • Check the status message to identify the conflicting packages:
sudo dnf reinstall filesystem -y | cat
  • Temporarily remove the conflicting packages until the issue goes away:
sudo rpm -e --nodeps gdm
sudo rpm -e --nodeps dnsmasq
  • Restore the removed packages and restart the affected services:
sudo dnf install gdm dnsmasq
sudo systemctl restart gdm.service
  • Verify the results:
> echo ${PATH}
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

> readlink /usr/local/sbin
bin

> readlink /usr/sbin
bin
