See: Gstreamer package conflicts after update to KDE 6.4

(I don’t think this is KDE-specific, despite the thread title.)

There appears to be a dependency issue between gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld from rpmfusion and gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free from fedora updates.

I got past the error with first removing gstreamer-plugins-bad-freeworld then performing the update. When i reinstalled gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld using the --allowerasing option it then downgraded gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free and gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-libs from the latest version 1.26.2-2 back to the older version 1.26.0-1 which appears to be compatible with the freeworld package.

$ sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld -y --allowerasing

I ran

sudo dnf update --enable-repo=r*g gstreamer1-*

like leigh123linux said, and it worked. I did wonder what was happening, but not enough to look into it right now. I guess that clears it up. Thanks.

Thanks for the info
I now did sudo dnf upgrade gstreamer* --enablerepo rpmfusion*testing* and it pulled the update for the freeworld package from the testing repo and also upgraded the packages from fedora as well.

Thanks to the rpmfusion team for fixing that dependency issue.
