Anyone noticed something unusual lately? After my 3rd reboot today, I had to look at what the heck is being updated. This doesn’t look right:

No packages altered. What kind of updates are these?

It’s probably a conflict update.

Run sudo dnf upgrade --refresh and you will be know.

Interesting, it looks like I have driver problem.

Repositories loaded.
Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package mesa-va-drivers-freeworld-26.0.5-2.fc44.x86_64

Nothing to do.

Nah, just wait.

Y(our) mesa-filesystem is still 26.0.5 .
This mesa-va-drivers-freeworld update needs mesa-filesystem 26.0.6 .

Once Fedora push new mesa-filesystem update, you can upgrade it without problem.

I switched back to the regular ones. Now it’s fine.
I won’t run any AI-accelerated sh1t in the short term.
