I’m unable to install ffmpeg-libs from the rpmfusion-free repo due to a package conflict with libavcodec-free:

 Problem: conflicting requests
  - package ffmpeg-libs-6.0-4.fc38.i686 conflicts with libavcodec-free provided by libavcodec-free-6.0-1.fc38.x86_64
  - package ffmpeg-libs-6.0-4.fc38.x86_64 conflicts with libavcodec-free provided by libavcodec-free-6.0-1.fc38.x86_64

What is the right way to solve this issue? Should I remove libavcodec-free? And what is libavcodec-free anyway?

It help me! but i have one more problem

command : rpm-ostree override remove mesa-va-drivers --install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld

Problem: package mesa-va-drivers-freeworld-23.0.2-1.fc38.i686 requires mesa-filesystem(x86-32) >= 23.0.2, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - mesa-filesystem-23.0.2-2.fc38.i686 has inferior architecture
  - package mesa-va-drivers-freeworld-23.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64 requires mesa-filesystem(x86-64) >= 23.0.2, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install both mesa-filesystem-23.0.2-2.fc38.x86_64 and mesa-filesystem-23.0.1-2.fc38.x86_64
  • i don’t have any i686 package installed

Edit : Today was repo update and system update from Fedora and problem was resolved itself.
