Really not sure what to do about this. Fedora KDE 44, if it matters

# dnf upgrade

Nothing to do.

Can’t remove this package either.

Ignore it, it will sort itself out mid week after fedora and rpmfusion resync ffmpeg

Fedora uses ffmpeg-free (which contains only completly free codecs) while RPM Fusion uses a full ffmpeg version with all codecs. Libavcodec-free is a dependency of ffmpeg-free, while libavcodec-freeworld belongs to the RPM Fusion version. Both have different versions.

Best solution: from command line type sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing .
