Fedora 44 KDE - mesa-vulkan-drivers-freeworld refuses to install both i686 and x86_64, required for Steam

I’ve had problems updating my system recently, and when I’ve gone to drill down to fix it, I’ve isolated it to the mesa-vulkan-drivers-freeworld conflicting between 32-bit and 64-bit packages. The 32-bit package is required by steam for compatibility with 32-bit proton, but it hard conflicts with the 64-bit package now. It did not do this before, and the non-freeworld version installs fine together, but that also means I lose graphics acceleration I use in other things. Here’s the console output:

For reference, my system is all AMD and uses an AMD graphics card.

Any tips on fixing this would be appreciated.

This is the kind of problem one should report to https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org to get the maintainer attention.
