[Solved] Had a power outage while updating my fedora system, and now dnf has file conflicts. Is it recoverable?
[Solved] Had a power outage while updating my fedora system, and now dnf has file conflicts. Is it recoverable?
The system booted normally after the energy was cut, but if I try to run a dnf update again, I get this error:

The error mentions using "dnf clean packages", but it only downloads the packages again, and the same error happens. I tried searching for a solution, and found people recommending running "dnf upgrade --allowerasing --best " and "dnf distro-sync", but both these commands result in an error saying that the operation would lead to systemd and systemd-udev being removed.
Did someone experience similar issues? How did you solve it?
EDIT: I ran "dnf reinstall" on the conflicting packages, and it seemed to work for most of them, except for at-spi2-core. However, I noticed that the conflict was between the i686 and the x86_64 package, so I removed wine along with all i686 packages and tried again. It worked, and I managed to complete the upgrade, but I would still get the following error when running "dnf update":

Nothing to do.
Complete!
So I did a dnf reinstall systemd systemd-udev and it finally solved the issue.
Thanks for the interest in helping. I will leave the post here in case someone else has a similar problem and google for it.
This is honestly why anyone and everyone should invest in at least a small UPS that can keep your PC powered for at least five minutes so in this kind of scenario you can cancel the update, shut down safely, and resume when the power is back.
Or use a system that has rollbacks so you can use the last known good configuration
Btrfs snapshots + Timeshift that is configured to run pre-update is great for this, though I cannot remember if Fedora's layout is compatible with Timeshift's expected configuration.
OP, If you really want to go 100% with this, something like NixOS (which is definitely an extreme investment) or an Atomic distro like Fedora Silverblue works very well for this.
This is why my main personal machine will always be a laptop.
I have far too many networking appliances for that, myself.
Ideally yes, but using btrfs with something like timeshift is enough.
It was the least fun thing I bought for my pc but at least I can relax during bios updates. I got mine because there was some work being done on the house and I was always fearful that an electrician would turn off the power. I would never have a pc without one now.
It was the least fun thing I bought...
Knowing myself, I'd end up playing with it more than with the PC for the next 3 months trying it with the most random stuff. In the end I would probably have a spreadsheet with average and minimum power times with the most random stuff that doesn't exceed its power limit. I am pretty sure it would also end up in my back pack for absolutely no reason at some point.
But of course, all of that only after watching every YouTube video about UPSs for 2 months prior to the purchase.
Any recommendations for a fairly cheap one? It would definitely come in handy.
Well for one, are we in the same country? US here. I'm not as savvy on pricings in the EU or anywhere else for that matter.
For two, it's helpful to assume what you need is based on your PCs max wattage input imho. That way, if it can run your machine drawing max power (wattage) for 5 minutes, it can run it for longer when its drawing less power than that.
dnf upgradeAndpackage-cleanup --cleandupesShould have fixed it.First things first, run the command you want to run and provide us the error output.
I was running dnf update when the system was shut down, and I rebooted when the power was back. The system apparently booted normally, and I tried to complete the upgrade process, to avoid issued. Now, the "dnf update" command shows the error message I posted.
In the original post, the error was in portuguese. Now I changed system language to english and posted the entire output of dnf update in the original post, to make it more readable for the community.
Yes
Are you sure its removing those packages and not updating them?
yes, the last 2 mentioned commands throw the error below and won't continue the operation:
Error: Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev
I don't know about fedora, but when you do that on Debian, using apt, apt-get or aptitude, is super easy to fix it...gotta learn your distro's tools
PS: just a tip, if you have no no-breaks, never use xfs/reiser as a filesystem
