error: Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:
 Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd

saleeshsuresheyyani is a user in the wheel group (administration group, commonly used to give privileges to perform administrative actions), so it can run rpm-ostree upgrade, but it is not a root user.

About the depsolve issue, I can update my Nvidia system to the new image without any problems. The issue could be because of outdated metadata. Try running rpm-ostree cleanup -m && rpm-ostree update to see if that resolves the issue.

hi, thank you for helping me out. now the rpm ostree upgarde command is working it shows below output however, when i check in software manager it shows system updates needs restart. i restarted numerous times however it still shows the same .
current output of upgrade command below

The command I provided should also update the system. Can you check the output of rpm-ostree status? The latest version should be 40.20240913.0 (2024-09-13T01:35:57Z). If that’s the version you have, then the system is already running the latest version.

Hi , thank you for the i was able to resolve the issue. it was an issue with edge , i removed it and reinstalled, now even in software centre it says updated. the latest version shows 40.20240913.0 2024-09-13T01:35:57Z
