What’s wrong?
Sould I remove gstreamer1-plugins-ugly or gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free?

Yes you can remove then reinstall them as this is simply a version conflict.

You need to use gstreamer1-plugins-ugly or gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free not both of them. Conflict is natural because of here

Hello @sparcher ,
I had to remove the following in order to have my update move forward due to conflicts …

gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free

and

gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free

If that helps.

I had the following error when I updated:

So based on the comments here, I removed two of the conflicting packages that were part of RPMFusion Updates. Unsure if this will lead to any issues, but since I rarely if every rely on anything from gstreamer ugly I think it’s okay to remove. So I removed the freeworld package and gstreamer-ugly, as those are from RPMFusion…

After removing these, I was able to run dnf update and everything updated fine afterwards. Really random this happened, but I guess when you also have the RPMFusion repo, this sort of thing happens sometimes…

All happened because three days ago RPM fusion removed these packages and moved them to Fedora.

So it should be safe to remove those packages.
