I think this fixed my system after it logged out mid-upgrade and broke things, thanks
It appears that this script continues to work for dnf5 systems as well.
tells me… rpm: no packages given for erase :( but I have loads of duplicates…
With dnf5 it appears the output of dnf check has changed. Try running:
sudo rpm -e --nodeps $(sudo dnf check 2>/dev/null | grep duplicate | cut -f2 -d'"')
if you get no packages given to erase
Just rescued my broken machine after a failed 40 -> 42 upgrade. Thanks a lot @vwbusguy!
my fault for not checking what packages this script removed before running it but it nuked my fedora install it doesn't even boot anymore. the files are fine it just removed every package it possibly could I think? anyway don't be like me check the output of sudo dnf check 2>/dev/null | grep duplicate | cut -f2 -d'"' before running rpm -e
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! 😃
