Tesseract was updated in Fedora, and while its maintainer took care of rebuilding dependent packages in Fedora, rpmfusion is a different thing. You could file a bug to make ffmpeg maintainers aware of that or ping @leigh123linux here :slight_smile:

Yeh, RPM Fusion usually lags Fedora a little because stuff has to reach the Fedora repos before RPM Fusion can update.

Another question: @dragonreborn1 is there a reason you’re using rawhide? It’s not a supported release, and users are expected to be able to debug systems and file bugs etc. to help with development:

Going along with what @ankursinha just said, Fedora 39 (just [about] released) seems to have full support with rpmfusion at present. I have already updated 3 different systems to F39 and am quite pleased with it.

Hrm, I don’t think rawhide is what you want. I’d stick to the latest stable release, which is going to very soon be Fedora 39. There are no AURs for Fedora, we have copr where people publish some packages that are not in the Fedora repositories themselves. Rawhide really is the development version and it moves relatively quickly, so people have to re-build their stuff for it quite often.

If you have issues installing applications, please open new issues and folks here on the forum will help you out.

Fedora 39 has the latest gnome (45.0) and is stable while rawhide is development and changes often.
