Trying to update to 44 from 43 but get the following error message:

Have you fully updated f43 before attempting the f44 upgrade?

When this happens the usual fix is to uninstall the problem package, do the upgrade then install the package after the upgrade.

I did fully update f43 before starting the upgrade. Similar thing happened on my second PC too.

Try sudo dnf remove texlive-listings-doc-11:svn66222-80.fc43.noarch then do the upgrade.

There are other issues with texlive when upgrading from f43 to f44 and topics can be found by a quick search for texlive.

It seems the solution may be to remove texlive before performing the upgrade.
