I already ran rpm-ostree cleanup -m , but no success.

Thank you for help

Hmm, weird. I think somehow glibc-devel-2.30-10.fc31 was included in the Silverblue compose before it was actually pushed to stable: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-1a3bdfde17. Not sure what happened there.

Anyway, this should resolve itself once the glibc update is pushed.

Yes indeed. I was able to update today. Some patience was needed, nothing else.
