Upgrade to F42 hangs after 22% progress

Upgrading from F41 to F42 seemed to be going smoothly but hung after 22% progress with no further progress for 2 hours.

On pressing esc, the final 2 lines are:

[1662/6866] Upgrading flatpak…
[1663/6866] Upgrading snapd-selinux…

I am a loss of what to do next…as the computer says to not switch off.

Should I just keep hoping and leave it on overnight?

It looks like I’ll have to turn off the computer part way through the upgrade process…unless there is another option…

any suggestions gratefully received … thank you …

Searching for snapd related bugs on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL systems, there are several ones in relation to selinux (denials, timeouts).

In case you didn’t manage to fix the issue, and you can still restart the system-upgrade, removing snapd before the upgrade might be a workaround.

Thank you Mike, I rebooted the computer in the end and it rebooted saying that it was running F42 so I guess it worked..

Can you suggest any terminal commands that I can use to check whether the upgrade really happened or only partially happened?

Thank you,

Chris

I would check the following:

$ head -3 /etc/os-release
$ uname -r
$ dnf repolist
$ dnf list --installed snapd-selinux
$ dnf list --installed | grep fc41
