Error: Transaction failed

Steps to reproduce

  1. Boot AlmaLinux image with the older filesystem package (9.4) or downgrade to reproduce
  2. Mount something readonly: mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt or mount -t tmpfs -o ro tmpfs /mnt
  3. Upgrade filesystem: dnf upgrade filesystem
The filesystem package cannot be upgraded if the system has readonly mountpoint such as cdrom. ``` ===================================================================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size ===================================================================================================================================== Upgrading: filesystem x86_64 3.16-5.el9 baseos 1.1 M Transaction Summary ===================================================================================================================================== Upgrade 1 Package Total download size: 1.1 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: filesystem-3.16-5.el9.x86_64.rpm 1.4 MB/s | 1.1 MB 00:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 573 kB/s | 1.1 MB 00:01 Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded.

Closing due to not a bug in upstream. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538674

/mnt is not meant to be used as a direct mount point for filesystems, we need to create mount point such as /mnt/foobar and mount other filesystem there.
