Can't install on silverblue 38

[appelgriebsch]

After the recent merge of the PR that fixes the paths for the runtime files to be compatible with immutable filesystems I'm trying to set it up on my local silverblue 38, but it fails when running rpm-ostree install .... with the message that the provided fprintd-clients and fprintd-clients-pam interfere with the system provided fprintd and fprint-pam.... (the latter also having a higher build number on Silverblue 38 than the provided ones in the copr repo).

Any updates on Silverblue compatibility and installation instructions? Are the custom fprintd-clients really necessary, or can I go with the system provided ones instead?

For anyone trying to install: I managed to install it with the following Reddit thread. Add the .repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d/.
Then sudo rpm-ostree override remove fprintd fprintd-pam After that install the required packages with rpm-ostree.

Not having to override the system packages would be really nice tough...

I am running into the following errors tough, because of the read only filesystem... Havn't gotten any further than this unfortunately. :-(
