Fedora Silverblue 39

Trying to install and upgrade packages in rpm-ostree results in dependecy errors with unresolvable glibc version conflicts.

Don’t know if it may be related to this issue.

Please confirm what the output of rpm-ostree upgrade is. I can’t tell if you’re saying that it and that second command both have the same output, or if you just forgot to include it.

3

Got the same output, yes. Updated in the OP for clarity.

Well, I understand why the rpm-ostree install command fails like that. Old versions of i686 packages aren’t available in updates-archive, so you can’t do anything until you upgrade. I’d recommend avoiding layering i686 packages for that reason (and layering less in general).

However, I’m not sure why rpm-ostree upgrade would say that. It should select that candidate to match the new base image. (What does “does not belong to a distupgrade repository” mean anyway?)

You can try uninstalling bottles to allow the upgrade .

Thank you.

uninstalling bottles

That seems like a reasonable solution. I will try it.

Update: It actually helped!

Check Out universal blue https://universal-blue.org/ to get away from layering and/or use toolbox / distrobox.

I heavily recommend using the Bottles Flatpak. It’s the official one supported by the developers.
