I also needed to disable VirtualBox repo, because of 404 errors:

err, the problems have nothing to do with RPM Fusion.

  1. wine issues, remove wine and reinstall after upgrade
  2. virtualbox.org direct this to the Virtualbox team at Oracle

You would not have that issue if VirtualBox package were installed from rpmfusion instead of from the oracle repo. I have VirtualBox from rpmfusion and the upgrade from f42 to f43 went smoothly.

The wine-dxvk*i686 packages can be removed to eliminate those errors. Possibly all the wine-dxvk*x86_64 packages as well if needed.

Thanks for the tip, didn’t know that you can install VirtualBox from RPM Fusion.
