Unable to upgrade Bazzite distrobox

[rcarmo]

I’m getting a strange error when trying to do a plain ujust update. Out of the blue, it cannot upgrade the NVIDIA packages in distrobox.

I’ve rebased, reset rpm-ostree, tried fiddling with distrobox to clear the caches, nothing.

Any idea? Here’s the log section for the failing distrobox upgrade:

I have the same exact problem. Good to know I am not alone with this.

I ended up removing the distrobox and manually creating another, also called “fedora”. But I also had to manually specify for it to use the :40 image, since :latest appears to still point to :39.

(On my mobile, if I can still find the command history later I’ll add another reply with what I did)

I think someone needs to fix something in both the Bazzite upgrade process and distrobox release tagging.

In the meantime, ujust update has stopped complaining.

[lorduskordus]

I don’t use Bluefin nor Bazzite, but

if you used ujust assemble or ujust distrobox-assemble or just wrote the command yourself and specified the same image with the same ‘latest’ tag, without the --pull argument …

… it won’t pull a new image, it will use the one you have locally, that might be the reason it gave you 39, even though it says latest. (Locally, you have the version that was latest when you pulled it)

You can see that using podman images

The images can be deleted using podman rmi <IMAGE ID>

If there is no image, assemble will pull the actual latest image before creating the container.

I had the same error, I solved it by cloning the box “fedora” into a box “temp”, deleting “fedora”, and then cloning “temp” into a new box “fedora”. I was able to do this using BoxBuddy, I was able to check that updates ran on the first copy.

edit: That didn’t actually work. Instead, I ran podman image pull ghcr.io/ublue-os/fedora-distrobox and ran ujust assemble for Fedora, that worked. I could have just deleted the image, as mentioned, but I didn’t realize it would pull for me.
