RPM transaction failed

Ask Fedora

I’m trying to install an update that came out the other day.
It failed under Discover/Updates and no longer shows as “available” there.
DNFdragora no longer works so I can’t pick & choose what to install.
Doing “sudo dnf update” in the console gives me:

Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.

  • file /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libfaad_plugin.so from install of vlc-plugins-base-1:3.0.21-24.fc42.x86_64 conflicts with file from package vlc-plugins-freeworld-3.0.21-4.fc42.x86_64

Is there some way to work around this?

It’s a known issue, see this thread which also contains the solution:

The fix has already been done on RPMFusion side, so you could also wait until RPMFusion is updated.

It was built late and missed this weeks push, I won't do another push until the queue is bigger, maybe next Friday.

Please install directly from koji in the meantime: https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=32055 .

Thanks. This seems to have fixed the problem.
