Fedora silverblue 40 emacs install issue

Ask Fedora

1

Please understand I don’t want to use emacs flatpak install because it doesn’t interact with the rest of the system in the usual manners.

I tried installing emacs in Fedora 40 Silverblue using rpm-ostree.
I got the following error.
Any hints or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

rpm-ostree install emacs

I suspect that is because it seems to be trying to use the glibc and the glibc-devel i686 packages. It does not confirm if those are already installed or not but I would suggest removing those i686 packages then try the install again.

Do you have anything else installed/layered on your system? Please share the output of rpm-ostree status.

I tried this on a freshly updated Fedora 40 Silverblue system and didn’t run into any problems:

Just a quick assumption, You wouldn’t consider using a toolbox either because of the same/similar experience? :thinking:

Ok so I disabled some of the repos that were unncessary for me.
I’m left with three: fedora, updates, and updates-testing. Nothing else.

After doing so, sudo rpm-ostree install emacs succeeded.

You should keep fedora-updates-archive enabled in Silverblue.
