Dnf not updating correctly

Hi there,

VLC was working fine last time I used it.

Anyone else is getting this?

Same problem Here :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Same here. Is there any rpmfusion dev thread for that issue - just to be updated.

I’m getting this, too.

It looks like the temporary solution is to exclude these 2 packages when upgrading: vlc vlc-core

@vgaetera I am facing this too. Any solutions to this?

Ok,

So far I only have trouble with VLC, I autoremoved it from fussion,
and re-installed as a snap. updated fine afer that.

I suggest looking for snapsies and flatties as a substitution for whatever
programs are in trouble, for the time being.

worked for me.

Cheers.

Issue has been reported here:

https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5705

The solution is described in comment2 of the bug report. The issue is that the required dependency packages are still stuck in Fedoras updates-testing repo.

So either wait a couple of days, or simply run:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=u*g update vlc
Ouput of above command

Complete!

Updates have been pushed to stable, see https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-c5e96618e7, so this problem should be resolved on its own by now (or tomorrow)

this patch clearly fixes the problem. Check it out.
You can close the issue.

VLC package maintainer from RPM Fusion here.

We have experienced a race with updates from fedora (libebml and libmatroska that broke ABI to solve a security issue) and our build that will allow this security issue to install as appropriate.

When the fedora updates was accepted to stable, there were an unexpected delay on the fedora infrastructure side where the related updates was not pushed.
This lead to a dependency break that was easily workarounded

However the initial report from @anon51196573 shows that the rpmfusion-free-updates repository was not enabled because others dependency break. This is a sign of mis-use of rpmfusion that is often encountered in qubes templates where fedora updates are enabled but not the related rpmfusion ones.
