I think this needs to be, at least at first, investigated in gnome-software. If I recall correctly, "rpm transaction failed with code 6" means some problem with the repo keys, thus it's likely to be bug #2439694. When I try it here with Fedora-Workstation-Live-44-20260216.n.0.x86_64.iso (aka a compose from today), then I'm greeted with a prompt whether I want to import the Fedora 44 key, which is just the bug #2439694. Cancelling that prompt results into the same error message. I guess it took you several minutes (might be more than 11) to open the gnome-software window, which resulted in an installation timeout on the dnf5 side. In any case, when I apply the new changes from the bug #2439694, the package is installed in the background with no problem and everything works as expected. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that bug, as it fixes both things. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2439694 *** |
On a fresh installation of Fedora 44 Workstation (Pre-release), opening GNOME Software for the first time immediately triggers the error: "Unable to install '<language>'" with details: "Failed to run transaction: rpm transaction failed with code 6." See also attached screenshot. The issue was originally reported to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/2952. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
