[General]: Packages filesystem on fedora crashes updates(with suggestions)

[pablo-fior]

Description

If you pd install fedora then pd login fedora and dnf update, the upgrade of the filesystem package returns:

[RPM] unpacking of archive failed on file /bin;6844b124: cpio: symlink failed - Directory not empty Unpack error: filesystem-0:3.18-42.fc42.aarch64

I have tried a solution posted on a fedora blog which recomments to sudo rpm -e --nodeps filesystem then dnf download filesystem but The First line excludes almost everything including The sbin directory where dnf is located. So The Second LINE doesn't work

I found that the latest release of the aaarch64 fedora imagem doesnt have this bug, build 20250602

Does anyone haver a fix for this issue?

Or

Can The fedora tarball be updated to bem built upon The latest build?

Thanks in advance

I also have problem with Fedora 42 with proot. I just got segmentation fault when trying to install or upgrage with dnf. Here is my output:

@FoxKyong Are you using Android 15?

[FoxKyong]

@FoxKyong Are you using Android 15?

Yes. Precisely LineageOS 22.2 based on Android 15.

I added this bug to Termux packages as well

https://github.com/termux/proot/issues/320

Android 15 on a Samsung One UI 7 Tab S9

Proot-Distro now provides Fedora rootfs with package filesystem excluded from upgrading in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

[FoxKyong]

I just updated proot-distro to 4.28 and it still doesn'twork.

[sylirre]

@FoxKyong I nowhere mentioned that Android 15 issue was solved (it can't be solved by proot-distro at all).

Only issue with filesystem package which this ticket is about.

[FoxKyong]

Oh, ok. My bad.

[IshanKBG]

@sylirre I am having the same issue. It's Android 15. So is there any solution to it yet?

[sylirre]

This can't be solved on proot-distro side.

Proot-Distro is a shell script automating usage of proot utility. If proot doesn't work properly, the issues will occur when using the distribution. That's independent of proot-distro.

Soon or later all distributions will begin to fail, e.g. because of GNU libc updates or use of newer system calls.

So please report all issues to proot repo: https://github.com/termux/proot/issues

I do not accept or otherwise process issues of proot utility.
