Fedora Silverblue can't upgrade to Fedora 41 due to missing layered packages

I’ve been attempting to upgrade to Fedora 41 in Silverblue. However, rpm-ostree tells me certain packages can’t be found, despite being clearly layered. As far as I can tell, all the necessary repositories are active as well. What might be going wrong here?

This is the output of rpm-ostree status --verbose:

I think the issue is that RPM Fusion repo packages rpmfusion-free-release & rpmfusion-nonfree-release are gone. Can you still rollback to the previous image?

Better yet, reinstall or enable those repos (rpmfusion-nonfree and rpmfusion-free (and their corresponding updates repo)) then do the upgrade. That way the upgrade should pull in those missing packages for upgrade.

To clarify there should be no need to reinstall Silverblue for this, but rather do rpm-ostree reset, rebase, then apply layering on the new version after that.

I tried to roll back as per Y.Z.'s suggestion, but this did not work. This worked, however. I removed all layered packages, rebased, and reinstalled RPM Fusion and all other packages afterwards. Thank you both for your help ! :slight_smile:

Added rpm-ostree

Normally you layer the rpmfusion packages according to their docs.

rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Then the packages should update themselves?
