Vulkan drivers from RPMFusion are a downgrade?!

Ok, so I’m doing all the “add RPMFusion multimedia stuff” thingy found here: RPMFusion Multimedia Howto

And when I get to the Hardware Accelerated Codec part, I try to run the sudo dnf install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld command and I get this:

Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides mesa-filesystem(x86-64) = 26.0.7 needed by mesa-va-drivers-freeworld-26.0.7-1.fc44.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free

So it wants to DOWNGRADE my drivers? And at the very bottom there it talks about “skipping packages with broken dependencies” and names the very package I’m trying to install… WTF?

Obviously, I answered “N” to the “Is this OK” query, and didn’t allow it to mess with my drivers at all… But what does this mean? Am I not going to have hardware-acceleration for anything through my GPU now? (It’s an AMD RX 9070 XT, in case that matters.)

What do I need to do here? Leave it as is? Find some sort of override? I really don’t know why this isn’t working correctly… Any info will be helpful, thanks.

Try

sudo dnf install --enable-repo u*g mesa-va-drivers-freeworld

or

sudo dnf update --enable-repo u*g mesa*

Ahh, ok. So that will get me all the mesa version 26.0.7 stuff (mesa-filesystem, mesa-dri-drivers, etc) instead of the 26.0.6 that’s on there now – and then I’d install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld and that should work because it will see the 26.0.7 stuff it needs, yes?

EDIT – Oh, if I use that first command you posted there, it installs the freeworld drivers while telling DNF where to go look for the mesa-filesystem package that was failing before. I get it now. Thanks!
