Fedora 41 on x86_64.
Trying to upgrade using : sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=42
But it fails and says :
Librepo error: Cannot download Packages/m/mozilla-openh264-2.4.1-2.fc42.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried
Not sure what to do. Remove the package that cannot be found, or something else ?

It seems that website is not working : http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/

While the error message does say “all mirrors have been tried” when I check the log I can see it tried 4 times and then failed. There are no mirrors but hat link :
http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/mozilla-openh264-2.4.1-2.fc42.x86_64.rpm

You can also use Tor, it works for me with NL exit node:
I used the work Windows laptop that uses a VPN to download the file and fix this.
Amazing that in 2025 a SINGLE stupid file served by freakin’ Cisco of all companies is able to TOTALLY block a Linux install.
