DNF Suddenly not allowing updates (protected packages)

Hello, I have been running a fedora installation on my laptop for a while now without issue, but today when I tried to update with dnf it ran without problem the first time, and then i reboot and try ones more, and now it complains about protected packages.

Version: 6.11.11-300.fc41.x86_64 Fedora 41

This happens when I try to update:

sudo dnf update
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev

Nothing to do.

I also tried distro-sync

sudo dnf distro-sync

You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

–skip-broken didn’t change anything

I have been searching around, but haven’t tried anything yet, since I don’t want to mess with systemd unless I for sure know it is the right thing to do.

I am clueless on this one, but if there is any information lacking in the post, please tell and I will provide it.

Thank you!
