Description Timothée Ravier 2025-09-27 16:35:00 UTC

SUMMARY

When doing major version updates with the rpm-ostree backend, the created transaction is not considered as an update but as metadata refresh by the Discover UI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Tweak /usr/share/metainfo/org.fedoraproject.fedora.metainfo.xml to set Fedora 43 as stable with a date of today (use rpm-ostree usroverlay or a sysext)
2. Refresh updates in Discover
3. Fedora 43 major version update offered

OBSERVED RESULT

Clicking on the Major update button does not start an update transaction but shows the "Refreshing" UI.

EXPECTED RESULT

Start a normal update transaction that can be cancelled.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Fedora Kinoite 42
