(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

How should I safely resolve these errors and conflicts without borking my system.

When I go for $ sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --best --allowerasing, I get the following result:

Should I wait for the RPM Fusion vaapi and vdpau drivers to be updated to 24.1.6-1? I installed the vaapi and vdpau drivers from RPM Fusion based on some discussion to get hardware accelerated video decoding to work everywhere.

That is what I would usually do.

I found the solution to this. There are 4 paths one can take.

  1. Wait till RPM Fusion updates the packages which are causing conflicts.
  2. Install the conflicting packages from the testing branch of RPM Fusion (might cause problems):
    sudo dnf upgrade --refresh --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
  3. Remove the conflicting packages:
    sudo dnf remove mesa-va-drivers-freeworld mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld
  4. Synchronize installed packages by downgrading the conflicts:
    sudo dnf distro-sync

I chose option 2 and crossed my fingers, but I think that strategy 1 or 4 is the best way to go.

The real issue here is fedora pushing mesa update to stable within 24 hours with no time in testing.
I might push the rpmfusion package to stable on Friday or Saturday.

If you do you may be ahead of the fedora version

mesa-libxatracker-devel.x86_64                       24.0.5-1.fc40                                          fedora                
mesa-libxatracker-devel.x86_64                       24.0.5-1.fc40                                          updates-testing       
mesa-libxatracker-devel.x86_64                       24.1.5-2.fc40                                          updates
6

See FEDORA-2024-cc7c8c8818 — unspecified update for mesa — Fedora Updates System

7

Then it is strange to find version 24.0.5-1.fc40 in updates-testing.

8

You are probably using a dead mirror.

https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/fedora/linux/updates/testing/40/Everything/x86_64/Packages/m/

http://mirror.i3d.net/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/40/Everything/x86_64/Packages/m/

Both have the old version as if 11:30 CEST

10

It looks like the main fedora url also has stale packages

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/40/Everything/x86_64/Packages/m/

11

The new version has meanwhile shown up in “updates” so that should be compatible with the rpmfusion version pending in testing.

@hashmartin, that still skips the relevant packages for me:
