"Nothing provides gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free" error while attempting to upgrade to Fedora 42

Attempting to upgrade my Fedora Workstation 41 to 42 beta results in following error:

Failed to resolve the transaction:
Package "rpmfusion-free-release-41-1.noarch" is already installed.
Packages for argument 'gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld' available, but not installed.
Packages for argument 'gstreamer1-plugins-ugly' available, but not installed.
Packages for argument 'fedora-flathub-remote' available, but not installed.
Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free(x86-32) >= 1.26.0 needed by gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1:1.26.0-1.fc42.i686 from rpmfusion-free
  - nothing provides gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free(x86-64) >= 1.26.0 needed by gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1:1.26.0-1.fc42.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free

Neither gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free nor gstreamer1-plugins-ugly are currently installed. The system is up to date (sudo dnf upgrade --refresh). Wonder what might the problem be?

Looks like the beta F42 packages have not been pushed to the rpmfusion repos yet.

Just have to wait.

The testing repo’s should be enabled on pre-releases, you need to enable fedora updates-testing
