Error in installation of F40

I tried to install prerelease of F40 with

$ sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40

but got the error message as

Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/lib64/dri/iHD_drv_video.so conflicts between attempted installs of intel-media-driver-24.1.3-2.fc40.x86_64 and libva-intel-media-driver-24.1.3-3.fc40.x86_64

What can I do?

You may want to wait until the beta for f40 is released unless you are willing and able to handle issues with the release.

Not sure about the conflict, I do not have libva-intel-media-driver and when I try to install it I get told this:

$ dnf install libva-intel-media-driver

Package intel-media-driver-23.4.3-1.fc39.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

What rpms do you have installed? What is the output of rpm -qa | grep intel?

If it is installed then you could try dnf remove libva-intel-media-driver then try the upgrade again.

Third-party packages generally lag behind the main release, so if you need this pckage you will have to wait for rpmfusion to catch up.

Added quality-team and removed intel

Thank you for your replies. I used option of ‘–exclude=libva-intel-media-driver’ and successfully installed the system. My old system didn’t have this. Then the ‘cheese’ can work but the newly added ‘camera’ cannot.
