Dependency conflict after solving the update problem

General

After I used the official script to fix the update problem that was happening with the ublue images, the problem below appeared:

I have no idea what could have caused this, I even tried uninstalling some layered packages but nothing helped

You probably need to remove all the things you have layered before you update, you can do this with an rpm-ostree reset and then reboot.

I gave the command rpm-ostree reset and after restarting I came across a broken system that didn’t leave the login screen, I gave rollback and just uninstalled the packages related to glibc and c. After that I managed to upgrade successfully, this rollback system saves lives lol.

Yeah, layering just brings back the unreliability of the old world to the new one, which is why we don’t recommend it.

The occasional weird package (like a VPN provider or something) is usually fine, but if you’re pulling in glibc then that might be a red flag to look out for.

I avoid layering packages on the system too, I always try to install them using flatpak or appimage and if they are not available, I try using distrobox
