Bug in rpm-ostree stops updates

Hello, Stargazers!

This post is relevant if you happen to be running either our stable-daily or latest stream and affects images from 6th of March.

One upstream package — rpm-ostree — was updated to version 2026.1 last week, and that version contains a bug that prevents updates.

We have implemented a fix by downgrading the package to an earlier version. The fix is now live, so make sure you manually update your image:

sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay

Now downgrade the package:

sudo dnf5 install --from-repo=updates-archive rpm-ostree-2025.12-1.fc$(rpm -E %fedora)

And lastly upgrade your image:

rpm-ostree upgrade

to update.

This does not affect our stable stream; it only affects users on the stable-daily or latest streams.

You can check this upstream issue if you are interested.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to reach out to us over on Github
