Hi, for a few weeks now there are a couple of packages libheif-freeworld and vlc-plugins-freeworld that seem to be problematic.
[root@ThinkCentre-72e ~]# dnf upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 1:34:39 ago on Sat 03 Oct 2026 09:39:52 AM CDT. Error: Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package libheif-freeworld-1.16.1-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides libheif(x86-64) = 1.23.5 needed by libheif-freeworld-1.23.5-1.el9.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-updates Problem 2: cannot install the best update candidate for package vlc-plugins-freeworld-3.0.23-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides vlc-libs(x86-64) >= 1:3.0.24 needed by vlc-plugins-freeworld-3.0.24-1.el9.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-updates (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
So I have been passing 'dnf upgrade --nobest' as shown below. In order to complete the update.
[root@ThinkCentre-72e ~]# dnf upgrade --nobest Last metadata expiration check: 1:35:13 ago on Sat 03 Oct 2026 09:39:52 AM CDT. Dependencies resolved.

Is this something that will correct itself? What is the best course of action to take?

Maybe it's been corrected by now? If not, wait a little longer until the repository site you are accessing gets fully updated. Akemi
