Hey there,
yesterday I wanted to upgrade to f42 from f41. The download process was smooth, but when I restarted the laptop to install the updates it hang at 25%. When I pressed esc to see what was happing I noticed that it was stuck in some sort of loop, so I force shutdown the laptop. When I wanted to restart the laptop I got an low battery warning, so I plugged my laptop in and restarted it.
Now cat /etc/fedora-release returns Fedora release 42 (Adams) but when I run dnf update it uses the f41 servers. If I run dnf update --releasever=42 it displays a lot of updates and downloads them but fails to process the updates and returns many file conflicts. So I tried distro-sync with both --releasever=42 and --releasever=41:
$ sudo dnf distro-sync --releasever=41
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: grub2-tools-minimal, selinux-policy-targeted, setup, systemd
You can try to add to command line:
--skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages
and
$ sudo dnf distro-sync --releasever=42

I hope anyone can help me fix this mess I ended up with.
