Topgrade: Updating error with mpv-libs file
I'm trying to update to the latest version but I get this error:
How can I continue to install?
ChatGPT suggested the following, but I don't want to blindly run commands...
1.
Try upgrading manually
Run this to see the full error:
This will retry the update and confirm the error without topgrade’s noise.
---
2.
Rollback to a clean deployment
If your current system was left in a half-upgraded state:
sudo rpm-ostree rollback
Then, reboot:
systemctl reboot
After reboot, run the upgrade again:
sudo rpm-ostree upgrade
---
3.
Clean up deployments
To free up space and remove broken deployments:
sudo rpm-ostree cleanup -m
This helps avoid "file exists" errors caused by deployment collisions.
---
4.
Remove layered packages (like mpv-libs, if layered)
If you manually layered mpv, it might be causing the issue.
Check your layered packages:
rpm-ostree status
If mpv or mpv-libs shows as layered, remove it:
sudo rpm-ostree uninstall mpv
Then run:
sudo rpm-ostree upgrade
You can later re-layer mpv with:
sudo rpm-ostree install mpv
---
5.
Use overrides only if needed
If it still fails and mpv-libs is critical, override it manually:
dnf download mpv-libs # Run this inside a toolbox or container
sudo rpm-ostree override replace ./mpv-libs-<version>.rpm
Then try rpm-ostree upgrade again.
