rpm-ostree install should upgrade locally installed package

jmou commented 4 years ago

When a local package is installed, using rpm-ostree install on a newer rpm fails. For example:

$ rpm-ostree install Downloads/zoom_x86_64.rpm

The workaround is easy; just rpm uninstall the local package first. But it would be friendlier if rpm-ostree could upgrade the package without this step.

Considering that there's no way of doing a rpm-ostree uninstall --apply-live, the only way of upgrading an rpm requires a full reboot.

Didn't realize a lot of people were hitting this. This isn't actually hard to do, and we do something similar for override replacements already (https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/2863). Might take a look at this soon since I've been working a lot in that area.

@jlebon any news ? it's not a blocker but definitely nice to have

FWIW you can do it in a single transaction: rpm-ostree install lact-0.5.3-0.x86_64.fedora-39.rpm --uninstall lact

Upgraded:
  lact 0.5.2-0 -> 0.5.3-0
Changes queued for next boot. Run "systemctl reboot" to start a reboot

Could you give some love for this opened issue with the most 👍 in this repo and check the proposed answer by @Mershl with multiple packages at once @jlebon. It doesn't seem to work on my side.

The issue with @Mershl solution is that it is not idempotent, we should simply be allowed to upgrade a package from an rpm file/link and if there is no upgrade, do nothing.

The error below should not happen and just update the app if there is an update.

sudo rpm-ostree install --idempotent --assumeyes https://downloads.1password.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64/1password-cli-latest.x86_64.rpm
