Fedora silverblue openssl-devel issue

Project Discussion
1

Hi there,

I’m trying very hard to install openssl-devel after doing an upgrade on silverblue today.

I successfully was able to do the upgrade:

sudo rpm-ostree upgrade

But I attempted to install openssl and openssl-devel and simply cannot and I don’t know how to interpret the errors in order to correct the situation. Please help and thank you in advance. Here is the output:

 $ sudo rpm-ostree install openssl

I had a similar issue a few days ago with the openssl packages. What fixed it for me was to clear the rpm-ostree cache. Try running rpm-ostree cleanup -mb and try the install again.

I’m starting to think I should do this command after every upgrade to help keep things installing/upgrading more smoothly.
