hi there…

● fedora:fedora/39/x86_64/silverblue
Version: 39.20231203.0 (2023-12-03T00:53:28Z)
LocalPackages: sublime-text-4169-1.x86_64 wps-office-11.1.0.11708.XA-1.x86_64

using f39 silverblue… using $rpm-ostree uninstall wps-office-11.1.0.11708.XA-1.x86_64
doesn’t remove the application. as a result I can’t upgrade the wps app.

I’m able to upgrade OS.

$ rpm-ostree install wps-office-11.1.0.11711.XA-1.x86_64.rpm

Hello @ss69pc ,
Try rpm-ostree remove wps-office-11.1.0.11708.XA-1.x86_64 install wps-office-11.1.0.11711.XA-1.x86_64.rpm. If that fails you could always note what you have layered and do an rpm-ostree reset to remove all mutations then install the newer version. Basically you need to remove the local package.

For reference, there is an upstream issue tracking this - rpm-ostree install should upgrade locally installed package · Issue #2127 · coreos/rpm-ostree · GitHub
