Hello,
When I run ‘rpm-ostree update’ today I got the following error:
error: Checkout podman-2:2.0.1-1.fc32.x86_64: Hardlinking 70/5ee685e13938927af53a13dff8fb45a505bbac59710e4e239fc612b9e30848.file to containers-mounts.conf.5.gz: File exists
Does anybody know what I can do about this?
Regards,
masch
Hey there, I haven’t encountered this issue myself, but maybe this is similar to your problem: Hardlinking error
I’ve tried to rebase to testing repo (rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/33/x86_64/testing/silverblue) and I get the same error.
Also, I’ve tried to reinstalling but I get the following error:
error: "podman" is already provided by: podman-2:2.1.1-12.fc33.x86_64. Use --allow-inactive to explicitly require it.
Is anything reported in the journal at the time of the err? Try journalctl -f to follow, and then retry update and see what ends up in the journal.
Also try ostree fsck
This is what I get from journalctl:

I also try ostree fsck and I got this output:

After the fsck execution, I get the same error when I try to upgrade.
Thanks!
Do you have any packages overlayed? Can you give us the output of rpm-ostree status?
Based on you request, I find out that the some time ago I installed a custom toolbox version, here is the status:

After your help, I find out that I still have some fc32 packages:
toolbox-0.0.92-1.fc32.x86_64
podman-plugins-2.0.1-1.fc32.x86_64
podman-2.0.1-1.fc32.x86_64
I don’t know how to replaced them with the f33 corresponding version. I’ve tried to reinstalled but I get the next error:

You will need to use rpm-ostree override reset -a I believe in order to reset your overrides. (Which should not affect your layered packages, just return the core component(s) back to what is in the commit.) A reboot will then of course be required to use the newer versions of toolbox and podman.
Finally, after your help, I could fix my Fedora. As you said, the problem was on the custom version of toolbox and podman packages. This information was given by the output of rpm-ostree status:
ReplacedBasePackages: toolbox 0.0.96-1.fc33 -> 0.0.92-1.fc32, podman podman-plugins 2:2.1.1-12.fc33 -> 2:2.0.1-1.fc32
I will do a quick resume if someone has the same issue. Here is what I did in order to fix it:
rpm-ostree upgrade gave me the following error:
error: Checkout podman-2:2.0.1-1.fc32.x86_64: Hardlinking 70/5ee685e13938927af53a13dff8fb45a505bbac59710e4e239fc612b9e30848.file to containers-mounts.conf.5.gz: File exists
In order to reset only the custom packages with:
rpm-ostree override reset -a
I got the following error:
error: Checkout vim-enhanced-2:8.2.2115-1.fc33.x86_64: Hardlinking ab/4a0895ca254af3b2723cd907c171e9eb41aad71ba821f90b68e4afe9cb9918.file to vim.sh: File exists
If I swap the vim package manually with:
rpm-ostree override remove vim-minimal --install vim-enhanced
I got the conflict packages errors again.
So in order to remove vim package I run rpm-ostree remove vim,
After vim package was removed, I could run the reset custom packages with:
rpm-ostree override reset -a
After the reset was done, I restarted my computer I finally I could run the upgrade successfully again.
It’s great to start the new year with Fedora upgrades again!
Thank you very much for your help and happy new year 
!
You’re welcome and happy new year to you as well!
