I turned off my laptop when it said not to!

Ask Fedora

All the help is very much appreciated and using the guidance from this thread I was able to fix my problem. So just in case anyone else is in the unfortunate situation where shutting down during update is unavoidable:

  1. Press e when you see the grub menu
  2. Edit the line that starts with linux and add 3 at the end of that line. Then press Ctrl+X. See: https://fostips.com/boot-rescue-emergency-mode-ubuntu-fedora/
    2a. Start networking. I used: sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
    2b. Test connection: ping www.google.com
  3. Enter dnf update
  4. Remove the packages that are causing the error. See: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/dnf-update-transaction-test-error/70587
  5. Enter dnf update again
    Then restart.
