Upgrade 41 to 42 end by "No Offline transaction is stored"

I followed instructions to upgrade fedora 41 to 42 by issuing the following command

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

sudo dnf autoremove
sudo dnf clean all

Then

sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42

It starts downloading then testing transaction and then a list of installed packages is displayed as follows

but when I run

sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

I get

No Offline transaction is stored

I reboot, still fedora 41 not upgraded

Thanks for your help

It says you need more space in your
/
filesystem. You might have to clear up about 2.5GB of files you don’t need.

Run

lsblk

to see how much space you have on your system.

Also, if you are using btrfs (as on a default Fedora install), try:

sudo btrfs fi df /

to see how much space is taken by metadata etc.

You appear have very little free space on your root filesystem. You haven’t mentioned which filesystem you are using. All filesystems are prone to catastrophic failure when run with limited free space, and btrfs repairs can be especially difficult. You should backup important data, then take steps to remove disposable data and applications you aren’t using, or to increase mass storage space.

So many thanks, shame on me, did not read the whole lines.

Yes, I freed some space on hard drive and upgrade went smoothly
