Collect the full output and paste it to paste.centos.org:

sudo dnf config-manager --disable rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
sudo dnf clean all; sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh

You can append &> dnf.log in the end.

dnf distro-sync only syncs up the package versions but doesn’t check the contents of every package.

If you edited the repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/, you can reinstall them:

# dnf reinstall fedora-repos fedora-repos-modular fedora-workstation-repositories
  • fedora-repos contains the files for these repos: fedora, fedora-cisco-openh264, updates, updates-testing
  • ...-modular is self-explanatory
  • fedora-workstation-repositories contains: google-chrome, rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver, rpmfusion-nonfree-steam

As for rpmfusion-free-updates-testing, it’s weird that you have that enabled but not rpmfusion-free and rpmfusion-free-updates. Generally you should not have the testing repos enabled.

If you intended to use RPMFusion, you can reinstall the RPMFusion repos following their instructions: Configuration - RPM Fusion

If that doesn’t resolve it, you may also need to enable/disable the repos:

# dnf config-manager --set-enabled rpmfusion-free rpmfusion-free-updates
# dnf config-manager --set-disabled rpmfusion-free-updates-testing

If you have any further issues, please include the exact steps you took and full error messages.

Unless there is a specific reason you need the testing repo I would also disable the
rpmfusion-free-updates-testing repo.

Those are proposed package updates that are still in testing status and may have issues. If they pass testing they will be released and moved to the updates repo. If they fail they will have changes then be tested again before final release.
