I recently decided to move to Fedora using the new Fedora Desktop 44 release. I would imagine it would take a hot second to move things over for the new release, but, this being 2026 and all and not familiar with how Fedora does things, I thought I’d ask.
Is the transition over for external repositories like RPMFusion relatively quick after a new release, or is there a considerable delay before the repository is updated?
I didn’t see anything on the repositories website besides the initial beta testing notice and others indicating the shift to 44 had occurred.
I’ve installed the RPM’s for the actual repositories for no problem, but it seems that the Intel Media drivers have issues?
`test@fedora:~$ sudo dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing`

`Repositories loaded.`

`Problem: package ffmpeg-8.0.1-9.fc45.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-rawhide requires ffmpeg-libs(x86-64) = 8.0.1-9.fc45, but none of the providers can be installed`
`- conflicting requests`
`- nothing provides libvpx.so.12()(64bit) needed by ffmpeg-libs-8.0.1-9.fc45.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-rawhide`

`- nothing provides glibc >= 2.43.9000-11 needed by ffmpeg-libs-8.0.1-9.fc45.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-rawhide`
If it’s too early I’ll chill out. Otherwise, I’m happy to file a bug with RPMFusion. Just being new to Fedora I wasn’t quite sure how everyone does things around here.
This was a fresh install from distribution ISO. Defaults were used outside of my partitioning scheme as I’ve done in the past with no issues whatsoever.
Upon the completion of the offline upgrade and confirming that DNF had nothing else left to update, I proceeded with the RPM fusion install from their own webpage as noted.
I think I’ll just move on to another distribution. This one doesn’t seem to fit my needs nor does the community seem to include certain factors that I’m looking for.
$ dnf list rpmfusion*release
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Installed packages (available for reinstall, available for upgrade)
rpmfusion-free-release.noarch 44-3 rpmfusion-free-updates
rpmfusion-nonfree-release.noarch 44-3 rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
Cancel that: wrong address Sorry.
That is why I want you to run the check-upgrade and the upgrade to see if you will be upgraded to the 44-0.3 version.
FWIW, I’ve been a Linux user for 9 years, and a Fedora/RHEL user for the last three in particular. I’ve never encountered this issue on Fedora or RHEL before, but I did today when I installed Fedora 44. I ended up uninstalling both of the repositories, then, after reinstalling them freshly, I ran dnf makecache before attempting to install packages from them. That seemed to fix it.
I hope J.P.Wheeler @jparker571 checks and sees this again.
1 day seems like a quick turn around time for judging a community based on very few replies IMO.
By the looks of things it does appear that the rpmfusion packages you downloaded / installed seem to be activating the “rawhide” repos - which (if memory serves) are really for the rawhide / next release of Fedora (45) when you have 44 installed.
Personally I would uninstall any “rawhide” RPMs:
dnf repolist
dnf clean all
dnf remove "rpmfu*rawhide*"
dnf repolist
you should see that the repos now do not include rawhide, and so should be all good now.
If you are still experiencing an issue then you may need to remove the rpmfusion packages, ensure the rpmfusion files are not present under /etc/yum.repos.d , and then re-install rpmfusion RPMs but be more selective over which ones you re-install after (as I say - rawhide should not get installed or enabled as you won’t want that).
