Hello,

in my case rm -Rf /var/cache/dnf/* have solved the problem and upgrade proceeded.

Of course above command has to be run as root inside WSL.

See: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/280. [TLDNR]: In the long run, WslFs will be the default. There are bugs in the update process, and no real performance benefits for existing WSL installs.

I want to try WslFs now in case there are issues for my use cases. Debian and Ubuntu WSL apps both upgraded to WslFs "successfully", but Debian has some other problems -- I get a blank screen, can type on it but never get to the bash prompt that started with the update to Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.267].

It works with Pengwin. Granted the first time I tried entering cmd from Pengwin and it hung up but after a reboot and doing it from a pure elevated cmd prompt, it worked just fine (literally took seconds). FedoraRemix most likely will work just fine if you do what I did: reboot and open elevated CMD prompt then execute the wslfs upgrade command. I do recommend being on the latest Windows available (1903) before doing it though.
