"error: packages would be removed" when upgrading to Bazzite 3

I just did the upgrade to Bazzite 3 using topgrade and got this when it ran the rpm-ostree upgrade:

error: packages would be removed: 281, enable replacement to override

error: packages would be removed: 281, enable replacement to override

Other than that, the upgrade seemed to work alright and the system boots fine. Is that anything to be concerned about? I've only installed 2-3 things with few dependencies via rpm-ostree, so I don't think the packages could have diverged by that much.

I would rpm-ostree reset to remove the packages you've layered then try updating JDK you can run in distrobox radeontop is unnecessary, we ship nvtop adb can be used in distrobox

Evening Newbs•5mo ago

Are these preventing other packages from updating then? I'd prefer not to screw around with it if I don't need to.

Kyle Gospo•5mo ago

probably, yes

Evening Newbs•5mo ago

Any way to tell which ones?

Kyle Gospo•5mo ago

one at a time until it works? layering packages is a last-resort activity you have at least 3 packages that should never need to be layered let's start w/ fixing this

Evening Newbs•5mo ago

I meant how to tell which packages are failing to upgrade. rpm-ostree upgrade says no updates available. But I don't know if that's because it can't or because nothing is kept back,

Kyle Gospo•5mo ago

Just rpm-ostree reset to get rid of your overlays, then update. You can reinstall later if you really want to, but you shouldn't use distrobox

Evening Newbs•5mo ago

I would like to understand how it works internally, that's all.

Kyle Gospo•5mo ago

The specific packages having issues is meaningless because the entire image is being updated. Your current layers are causing a conflict. Knowing which one saves you seconds, but you'll spend hours figuring out which and all to save something that shouldn't be done that way in the first place it's not worth it

tryhardsoccermomswag•5mo ago

the end goal is to not include rpm-ostree in the future and have it all boot-c do not worry this won't be for a long time we'll also have #🍥sysext implemented properly by then but try to use distrobox over layering packages

Evening Newbs•5mo ago

I've only had bad experiences with distrobox in the past. And being told "just do x" is not the way I like to troubleshoot.

Kyle Gospo•5mo ago

you may want to give Nobara a try then, not a lot of point in using an immutable distro and then disagreeing with the intended use case
