I saw the same thing when last weekend.
If this is what it looks like, how come there is a version of pipewire-codec-aptx which requires a version of pipewire which isn’t available?
pipewire-codec-aptx is from rpmfusion-free-updates, whereas pipewire is from @System. I am still on F36 . Has RPMFusion somehow got out of sync with Fedora here?
I don’t even know what pipewire-codec-aptx or why it’s installed. Apparently no other package depends on it.
AptX is a Qualcom proprietary audio codec compression algorithm. The codec is needed to use “aptX enabled” bluetooth audio devices so it makes sense that no other packages require it.
Updates going slightly out of sync between Fedora and RPM Fusion is fairly common and harmless, usually resolved by waiting a day or two. This one might take longer depending on when enough people test and provide feedback.
