I run through the commands to upgrade from 34 to 35 with no issues until I run “dnf system-upgrade reboot”

the upgrade then fails with "Failed to start System Upgrade using DNF.

Here is the output of the log of the time of failure:

This is the issue. Please remove one of the packages to resolve the conflict (and you can reinstall it after the upgrade). Same issue here:

Not sure what’s causing it—would you know where the two packages are from? Are they from the Fedora repositories??
