Hello fedora community!

sudo dnf update fails with

Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.
  - file /usr/lib64/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 from install of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-3:575.64-1.fc41.x86_64 conflicts with file from package libnvidia-cfg-3:575.57.08-1.fc41.x86_64

Tried sudo dnf update libnvidia-cfg xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs which brings the same issue:

sudo dnf update libnvidia-cfg xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs 
$ sudo dnf update akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs --allowerasing

  • xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-3:575.64-1.fc41 is coming from rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.
  • libnvidia-cfg-3:575.57.08-1.fc41 is currently installed from cuda-fedora41-x86_64.

The issue is they provide the same library. So which one is better? Looking at the numbers, the first one is newer.

I decided to forcibly remove the older one sudo rpm -e --nodeps libnvidia-cfg and once it was gone I ran sudo dnf update. After after a sudo reboot the report of nvidia-smi looked fine.
