Problem 1: installed package qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld-5.15.18-1.fc42.x86_64 requires qt5-qtbase(x86-64) = 5.15.16, but none of the providers can be installed
 - cannot install both qt5-qtbase-5.15.17-1.fc42.x86_64 from updates and qt5-qtbase-5.15.16-2.fc42.x86_64 from @System
 - cannot install both qt5-qtbase-5.15.17-1.fc42.x86_64 from updates and qt5-qtbase-5.15.16-2.fc42.x86_64 from fedora

$ sudo dnf list installed qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld
Installed packages
qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld.x86_64 5.15.18-1.fc42 rpmfusion-free

sudo dnf list installed qt5-qtwebengine
Installed packages
qt5-qtwebengine.x86_64 5.15.18-2.fc42 fedora

I think I need to tidy up a bit. Remove unnecessary packages.

Which ones?

What is the difference between
qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld.x86_64 5.15.18-1.fc42 rpmfusion-free
and
qt5-qtwebengine.x86_64 5.15.18-2.fc42 fedora
?

Can I remove
qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld.x86_64 5.15.18-1.fc42 rpmfusion-free
and leave only
qt5-qtwebengine.x86_64 5.15.18-2.fc42 fedora

without disrupting Fedora?

Any advice please.

From dnf info qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld:

This version is compiled with support for patent-encumbered codecs enabled.

Fedora can be used without patent-encumbered codecs. Whether it works for you depends on how you use Fedora. There is usually a delay before rpmfusion packages get updated. You can try using the version that omits the extra codecs. If there are issues you may need to wait for the rpmfusion version to be updated.

Should be fixed today. The -freeworld packages can only be re-built after the corresponding Fedora package updates have been pushed to stable, so there will always be a bit of a lag.
