.NET 8 fails to resolve workload on Fedora

[Kampfmoehre]

Describe the bug

Most dotnet commands do not work or print an additional error like below when dotnet-sdk-8.0 is installed.

To Reproduce

1. Install dotnet 8 sdk on Fedora 39 with sudo dnf install dotnet-sdk-8.0 (the one from Fedora updates repo)
2. run dotnet --info or some other dotnet commands
3. an error with stack trace is displayed

Exceptions (if any)

Example output when trying to build a project:

Same error happens when running dotnet restore.

I used dotnet 7 without any problems before, things start to work again when I remove dotnet-sdk-8-0 and related packages (and use .net 7 again).

[am11]

It doesn't seem to happen in clean environment, i.e. docker run --rm fedora sh -c 'dnf install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0 && dotnet --info'

Could you try mounting your project directory with docker docker run --rm -v$(pwd):/project -w /project -it fedora, then inside the container shell, execute dnf install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0 and dotnet build src/MyProject. If it doesn't reproduce there, then perhaps you need to run: dotnet workload update --from-previous-sdk (based on my understanding of #33937).

[Kampfmoehre]

This is not project specific but system wide, running the workload update command yields the exact same error

$ dotnet workload update --from-previous-sdk

I see, maybe try the reinstall? dnf remove -y dotnet*, rm -rf ~/.dotnet ~/.nuget, dnf install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0 and clear caches before using it dotnet nuget locals all --clear

[Kampfmoehre]

I already reinstalled it several times to no avail. Cleaning the directories did also not help unfortunately. For now I need to keep .NET 7 as I need to be working on some projects. Maybe I try removing them all next week when there is more time.

[Kampfmoehre]

I tried uninstalling all .NET packages clear the paths and only install .NET 8 but the problem still remained.

So I poked around and removed all .NET packages again and also deleted the dotnet directory with sudo rm -rf /usr/lib64/dotnet/ Now I can run dotnet --info without an error message. I am also now able to build .NET 8 projects. Seems like something was broken inside this directory.
