Can't update Fedora Kinoite 44 (probably nvidia related)

So I upgraded from Kinoite 43 to 44 earlier this month. I usually update weekly, but since a few days ago, whenever I tried to update the system via sudo rpm-ostree upgrade I get a few errors related to akmod and nvidia similar to this post (“none of the providers can be installed” error).

I thought it’s just some weird caching issue so I decided to do a clean up using the command sudo rpm-ostree cleanup -b -m. However, instead of fixing the issue, now I got a different error instead when I run sudo rpm-ostree upgrade again as you can see below:

I have waited about several hours before retrying the command again but the result is always the same, just showing a different domain. Judging by the error message, this doesn’t seem like a connection issue, but rather a missing file/link on the server(s).

How can I fix this? I can’t update my system at all.

Here’s the current output of my rpm-ostree status:

I gave up and just rebased to Kinoite rawhide. Now the update is working fine. I think I can rebase to F44 again but I’m staying on rawhide for now.

EDIT: Switching to rawhide still doesn’t fix this issue. It was normal the first time but when I test it again it’s giving me the original error I faced.

Fixed by updating again today (sudo rpm-ostree upgrade).
