Comment 1 Andreas M. Kirchwitz 2025-10-29 04:48:18 UTC 
If there is an existing non-empty /usr/local/sbin directory from a previous Fedora installation, the Fedora 43 installer fails because "rsync" complains about the existing directory. At least that was there problem here.

Solution: move binaries from /usr/local/sbin to /usr/local/bin and remove /usr/local/sbin
