Fedora Kinoite breaks after I select sleep

I get the following message on two PC’s and one laptop after selecting sleep.

"The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.
In order to unlock it, switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1),
log in to your account and execute the command:

loginctl unlock-session 2

Then log out of the virtual session by pressing Ctrl+D, and switch back to the running session (Ctrl+Alt+F2).
Should you have forgotten the Instructions, you can get back to this screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2"

None of the above instructions do anything.
The only way to get back to my logon screen is to power off and restart.

If you use Ctrl+Alt+F3 instead of Ctrl+Alt+F1 here, the instructions should work. (Ctrl+Alt+F1 works on some distros, but not on Fedora.)

However, on Kinoite, your best option is probably to eliminate the broken package by rolling back to a deployment before 20250628 if you can. The thread linked above has more details.
