I recently tried to upgrade to Fedora 42 beta, but for some reason I’m getting a conflict with a package that’s not installed on my system. It is saying that nothing provides gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free(x86-32) >= 1.26.0 needed by gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1:1.26.0-1.fc42.i686 from rpmfusion-free the issue is that I don’t have the gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1 installed on my system. Already tried cleaning the packages, upgrading the system autoremove, nothing seems to work, am I doing something wrong?
I’m running the command: sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42 to upgrade to the beta.
The following image shows what is happening better.
Even if you have installed the gstreamer1-plugins-ugly package from rpmfusion you still should have the gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free package from fedora.
# dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42

Problem 1: problem with installed package
- gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1:1.24.11-1.fc41.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
- nothing provides gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free(x86-64) >= 1.26.0 needed by gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1:1.26.0-1.fc42.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free
Problem 2: installed package python3-qt5-webkit-5.15.10-11.fc41.x86_64 requires python3-qt5(x86-64) = 5.15.10-11.fc41, but none of the providers can be installed
- python3-qt5-5.15.10-11.fc41.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
- problem with installed package
Problem 1 appears to be because of version mismatch between the fedora repo with gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free and the rpmfusion version of gstreamer1-plugins-ugly.
Problem 2 appears to be a result of having python3-qt5-webkit installed
For this problem I removed the add on package python3-qt5-webkit and gstreamer1-plugins-ugly as well as gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld and rpmfusion-nonfree-release-41-1.noarch. I then ran the ‘system-upgrade download’ command with no problems
Hmm, I tried running the command you provided to list the gstreamer packages and I can’t seem to find the ugly one that’s causing the issue, have I done something wrong?
Note that I also had to remove the rpmfusion-nonfree-release-41-1 package to eliminate that error about the gstreamer-plugins-ugly package.
You also have 2 repos there that are not part of fedora and are giving the errors in red.
Docker and hashicorp. If you disable those repos when doing the system-upgrade command it will eliminate those errors. dnf repolist will give you the names of the repos to disable.
Just a friendly request.

Removing that package eliminated the complaint that it was already installed. It also eliminated the complaint about the gstreamer-plugins-ugly package (which was not installed at that time)
When the update completed the rpmfusion-nonfree-release package was reinstalled and a subsequent (re)installation of the gstreamer-plugins-ugly package worked as well
Note that for me there were the “4” packages that the system-update complained about, and to have the update perform the download properly ALL had to be removed.
As noted in my post above
gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld
rpmfusion-nonfree-release-41-1
python3-gtk5-webkit (The f41 package appears to have been replaced with python3-gtk5-webengine for f42 but nothing I have found says that and it presented an error for the update.)
The error said the first 3 were already installed for f41 but the system-upgrade was intended to update to releasever=42. Apparently some glitch in the way the update was being processed.
