Description

Environmental Info:
K3s Version:
k3s version v1.35.1+k3s1 (50fa2d7)
go version go1.25.6

Node(s) CPU architecture, OS, and Version:
Fedora CoreOS 43.20260217.2.2:
Linux M910Q 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Feb 11 17:20:05 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Cluster Configuration:
1 server

Describe the bug:
The k3s-uninstall.sh script fails to remove the k3s-selinux package on Fedora CoreOS 43.

Steps To Reproduce:
On Fedora CoreOS:

  • Installed K3s: curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_CHANNEL=latest sh -s -
  • reboot node
  • run uninstall script: k3s-uninstall.sh

Expected behavior:
The k3s-selinux package should be removed using rpm-ostree.

Actual behavior:
The script calls yum (symlink to dnf), which fails because only rpm-ostree is allowed to make changes on CoreOS.

Additional context / logs:

$ k3s-uninstall.sh
# left out uninteresting output
