Dnf update error with qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld-5.15.12-6.fc39.x86_64

Last week when I did dnf update, I got the following error. I waiting a week and tried again and it is still happening. Can you give me advice if this is something I should just keep waiting for the dependency to be resolved, or if I need to add/remove packages to resolve this?

Thanks.

I’m going to assume you enabled RPMFusion after you installed rather than during the installation itself. The first thing you should do is update all your installed groups, the only way that I’m aware of to do this is with $ dnf group list then for every group listed in the “installed” groups section do a $ sudo dnf group update *group*. Next you may just have to wait a little longer before the conflict is resolved. According to rpmfusion.org this usually happens because an update got pushed to Fedora stable while the corresponding rpmfusion update is still in testing(and in my experience this is usually the case). If you believe it’s taking too long you may just want to file a bug report to rpmfusion, but I don’t think that’s necessary for this situation.

You can remove qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld unless you’re using a Qt5-based web browser like Falkon. The package only adds support for patent-encumbered codecs to that engine.

Keep in mind that if you do “dnf groupupdate multimedia” again then you will get an error again.
To prevent this, you can add the command –exclude=qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld
Or add exclude=qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
Until RPM Fusion fixes it.
