(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
```
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks!
UPDATE: I managed to fix my issue by repeatedly running `sudo dnf clean all` and `sudo dnf check-update --refresh` to update the dnf cache.

I have been getting this a lot in the last 2 days. “dnf makecache --refresh” also fixed it.
