Comment 4 Colin Walters 2022-04-21 18:17:56 UTC 
To verify this, with a previous version of rpm-ostree:

$ systemctl stop rpm-ostreed
$ mv /var/lib/containers{,.old}
$ systemctl start rpm-ostreed

This should print a failure message.

Now, upgrade to rpm-ostree-2022.8-2.el9 (you could e.g. use `rpm-ostree usroverlay && rpm -Uvh`), then:


$ systemctl daemon-reload  # Ensure the updated systemd unit file is applied
$ systemctl start rpm-ostreed

should work.

Hi Colin, I do not have rhcos9 build, is there any way to verify this?

That has nothing to do with this bug.

The cause of that error is:

> [ 1549.874724] rpm-ostree[848]: Preparing pkg txn; enabled repos: ['epel'] solvables: 6915

You only have the EPEL rpm-md repo enabled, not the base C9S repositories.

Advait, your issue has been resolved by enabling BaseOS and AppStream repos IIUC.

Clearing the needinfo for Mike and Luigi.
Comment 15 Michael Nguyen 2022-05-04 13:25:30 UTC 
Moving this bug to VERIFIED.  I worked with Advait and issue in this BZ is resolved.  The secondary issue was just because the BaseOS and AppStream repos were not enabled.
Comment 16 Advait Shailesh Gupte 2022-05-04 20:31:01 UTC 
@walters as @leiwang mentioned above in comment 14 for my issue:
> [ 1549.893331] rpm-ostree[848]: Txn UpdateDeployment on /org/projectatomic/rpmostree1/rhivos failed: Packages not found: vim
> [ 1549.874724] rpm-ostree[848]: Preparing pkg txn; enabled repos: ['epel'] solvables: 6915

I worked with @mnguyen and figured out that vim package was not part of epel repository instead vim is part of vim-enhanced package within the AppStream repository. I ended up installing package vim-minimal first for which I had to enabled BaseOS repository. It might be possible that these repositories were not enabled as I was running this on Fedora 35 on a power machine for the first time. I usually would run my tests on a beaker machine.

Also the $basearch was not populating properly and I had to manually change it to x86_64.

In total, after enabling the repos BaseOS and AppStream I was able to install vim packages.
