Unable to add layered packages on top of 38.20230221.n.1

[MateusRodCosta]

This issue tracker is intended only for Silverblue specific issues. We would like to ask you to try to reproduce the issue on a relevant Fedora Workstation release. If you will be able to reproduce there, then please report it in Red Hat Bugzilla (see How to file a bug) or in upstream (preferred for GNOME projects) and not in this issue tracker.

Describe the bug Apparently I am unable to upgrade to 38.20230221.n.1 with my layered packages. Resetting overlays and then relayering them also gives the same error message.

Can you try with only packages from Fedora?

This week, a few days ago, I am no longer able to rebase Fedora 38 precisely because of the same problem.

Please try with packages from Fedora only, or try to find the package creating this conflict.

In case it's not clear: RPM Fusion is not part of Fedora.

Hi, sorry, yeah I will try to open an issue with the RPMFusion people later today.

At least on my system it seems the Nvidia packages are 4 of the 6 packages that cause problems.

So I guess maybe there was a change in systemd packaging that RPMFusion didn't adapt to yet

Oh, sorry. She hadn't paid attention. Once again, the day has been saved thanks to NVIDIA. /s

[MateusRodCosta]

Ok, I kept my layered packages and it seems this error doesn't appear anymore.

So, likely really a conflict between RPMFusion packages and that commit at that speicfifc point (mostly Nvidia packages and a few other packages).

I will keep the bug on rpm-ostree open though, because it would be useful if it showed which packages are causing issues so it becomes easier to debug similar issues in the future.
