Hi guys, I have this situation: I was updating my Fedora 22 at the university, but there was a power outage and the update didn't finish. Hopefully, I was able to boot the machine and even to login into Gnome, but now it is impossible to continue with the update using dnf upgrade.I tried package-cleanup --cleandupes, but it didn't work because it wanted to remove systemd and dnf, which are protected packages and are duplicated.Running dnf remove $(dnf repoquery --duplicated --latest-limit -1 -q) also gives the same result: "Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, dnf".My question is: can I safely remove the lower versions of systemd and dnf with rpm -e and then proceed with cleaning duplicates and continue to update in the usual way, or how should I proceed?
Before you can even think of repairing the software package set, you need to verify the integrity of your filesystem and the RPM database.
touch /forcefsckthen reboot. The reboot will fsck all your partitions. Trying to fix your software packages is a wasted effort, if you discover later that your filesystem is corrupt.
After the reboot, run rpm --rebuilddbto rebuild the rpm database. Afterwards, run rpm -V against the NEWER version of systemd and dnf packages. Only if rpm -V gives a clean bill of health would it be safe to forcefully remove the older versions from systemd and dnf.
