Unable to update to 42 Silverblue from 41

Ask Fedora

I am currently on 41.20250417.0 (Silverblue) and tried to upgrade both via Software app and CLI.

The Software app seems to download multiple items with the progress bar going from 0 to 100 but eventually it returns to the Download button I originally clicked on.

From CLI I entered the folllowing:

rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/42/x86_64/silverblue

And then got the following errors:

Could not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:

Do you have any third party repos enabled such as RPMFusion? this may cause an issue

I did. I was trying to install via some alternative method but I disabled them from the Software app now. Tried updating to 42 again from CLI and got this error:

error: Packages not found: rpmfusion-free-release, rpmfusion-nonfree-release

ah ok, can you make sure your F41 system is fully upto date rpm-ostree update systemctl reboot after reboot also try rpm-ostree cleanup -bm just in case you have any stale cache issues afterwards you can also try remove and reinstall your RPMFusion repos from CLI with rpm-ostree update --uninstall rpmfusion-free-release --uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release --install rpmfusion-free-release --install rpmfusion-nonfree-release

Sorry I should have clarified before - should I enable/disable the rpmfusion repos from the software app?

With the repos enabled, I updated my system and rebooted. Did the cleanup and then reinstalled rpmfusion. Afterwards tried to update to 42, but still ran into the same errors.

in your case it might be worth repeating the same steps again but this time with RPMFusion disabled, and enable again only after successfully rebasing to Fedora 42, you should be able to do this from gnome-software app otherwise also try uninstalling RPMFusion from the CLI before trying to rebase again
