I enable rpm fusion and restart my system and try to install broadcom-wl this is what i got.
Error:
Problem: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd, systemd-udev
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
its removing systemd what should I do?
Fedora 40 kde spin.
What are the outputs of dnf repolist, sudo dnf info broadcom-wl and sudo dnf repoquery --conflicts broadcom-wl commands?

It will also install on my machine if i use --skip-broken, should i use '--skip-broken? but it will uninstall systemd
I didn’t use --skip-broken and I don’t recommend uninstalling systemd. My systemd version is systemd-255.6-1.fc40.x86_64, what is yours?
One of my f40 systems (old iMac) uses broadcom-wl, and has systemd from the updates repo:

I have two systemd version installed?
Well, that is strange and probably the cause of the problem. systemd-255.4-1.fc40.x86_64 shouldn’t be there. How did you install it? What does sudo dnf info systemd-255.4-1.fc40.x86_64 says? Normally, upgrading systemd should remove the old version so you should have only 1 systemd package installed on your system.
Also, by any chance did you mark systemd as installonly? You can check it with:
sudo dnf config-manager --dump | grep installonly

Description : systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest
: of the system. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket
: and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of
: daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount
: and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based
: service control logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a
: replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon,
: utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname, date, locale,
: maintain a list of logged-in users, system accounts, runtime directories and
: settings, and a logging daemons.
:
: This package was built from the v255-stable branch of systemd.
i don’t know how it got installed i am on a new fedora 40 kde spin
and `sudo dnf config-manager --dump | grep installonly’ output
installonly_limit = 3
installonlypkgs = kernel, kernel-PAE, installonlypkg(kernel), installonlypkg(kernel-module), installonlypkg(vm), multiversion(kernel)
Looks like it is installed by Anaconda (Fedora’s installer) and it is not marked as installonly. Normally, when you upgrade a package the old version will be removed but yours didn’t somehow. Can you check for duplicated packages with sudo dnf check --duplicates command. If it list anything, you can try to remove them with sudo dnf remove --duplicates command.
I would try sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh to see if it would handle the extra systemd package that seems to be installed. It would appear that something in an update failed to remove the older package after installing the new one.
Thank you very much, now i can install broadcom-wl.
yeah when i was upgrading fedora my systemd shutdown because of low battery and when i log in sddm was not working i had enter the tty and then ran sudo dnf upgrade and it fix sddm. i think because of shutdown it didn’t remove the old packages.
Thanks.
Just a simple reminder (for anyone reading this).
Always ensure your system is on reliable power when performing anything that will write to the drive to avoid this type situation.
