Failed to install Ghostty due to File Exists error
I am trying to re-install Ghostty. I had it installed via rpm-ostree previously however I began getting failed "ujust update" due to the same error. I fixed the OS updates by running sudo rpm-ostree uninstall ghostty and running the updates normally. Then upon reinstall I am unable to reinstall
Attempted command: sudo rpm-ostree install ghostty
Output of failing command:

Solution
https://ghostty.org/docs/install/binary#silverblue-(and-other-immutable-variants) If so, what that did was add a file in your yum repos directory that points to the copr. So then yes. You're using that. And you should have
ghostty-git
