Hi, I am currently running silverblue 32 on VM because I want to make sure things work before I switch to it completely. After installing, I did my first upgrade with rpm-ostree upgrade and it has no problem. After rebooting I try to install fish with rpm-ostree install fish but got this error
rpm-ostree install fish

I try to rpm-ostree refresh-md but the same error come out.
I’m not sure what’s the problem. Can someone help me please? Thanks.
Well. Take this as a supposition.
In a regular Fedora install, the in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf the zchunk=False option should prevent dnf to use zchunk data.
rpm-ostree uses libdnf as well, but libdnf (again, take this as a supposition, I’m not a developer of these bits) doesn’t honor such option: zchunk is always enabled.
Said that, you know, Fedora Silverblue is not as wide used as a regular Fedora Edition/Spin is. The number of users is still limited, and it is still under heavy development. So it has a dedicated forum you can find here: #silverblue topics
Try to ask there.
Indeed, it doesn’t work because right now (again, I’m not the developer) the use of zchunk is bundled in the code and it doesn’t take into account the option in the dnf.conf file. I think that this is the same issue with packagekit in regular Fedora.
I think that we have to wait the next version of dnf
However, I still have to understand why zchunk doesn’t work in some circumstances. @ramasentani, @changwuf31 what kind of internet connection do you use? (ADSL, mobile, …?)
