So, I saw the new release in Gnome Software’s Update section, and waited for it to download. But, since it was stuck, I canceled it, did a quick sudo dnf update --refresh, and finally sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40, encountered a few problems with font packages that couldn’t be installed, ignored, sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40 --allowerasing.
Everything was good, until sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot, which said it was already scheduled. So, I manually reboot, the system goes for the offline-upgrade, and then a few errors flew by me, the system started rebooting, and then boom it’s a lot of errors, starting with dbus-broker service failing to start, and thermald, bluetooth and then a lot of dependent services failed like gdm. Couldn’t boot.
So, I booted up a live usb with Garuda, mounted the disk and the partitions, and then chroot into it, did a sudo dnf update, with nothing critical, followed by a sudo dnf distro-sync --releasever=40 --allowerasing --best, which tried to install all the packages again, but failed with a long list of packages.
I check the journalctl for the journal of the reboot after the upgrade, and this is what I found:

So, I was curious what was the invalid token in the /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/com.system76.PowerDaemon.conf, here we go:
!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"

What were the git conflict markers doing in the file? Also, after the sudo dnf distro-sync --releasever=40 --allowerasing --best exited they disappeared, so I guess the dbus-broker was updated this time, and chose the upstream changes.
Why did this happen? Am I safe to reboot into Fedora now? Or should I do something about the packages that failed?
