Description Jonathan S. 2026-03-20 23:34:30 UTC
The caffeine version in F44 is incompatible with the gnome-shell version in F44. This means the package does not work at all. It should either be updated or removed from F44.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Austin 2026-04-26 01:45:44 UTC
This is fixed in version 60-1.fc45 (working well on Fedora 44 in my testing)

Version 60 needs to be backported to 44.

Can confirm the same issue here, happened when upgrading from F43 to F44 and also reproduced it on a freshly installed Fedora 44 machine. Installing the package using dnf works but the installed version shows up as/is incompatible with Gnome 50.

Still sitting at 48. Not too big of an issue for someone who knows how to use dnf and runs workstation (and can install from Fedora 45 repos); might be a bigger deal for someone new or who uses Silverblue. FYI some of us prefer to use extensions from the repos since user extensions (i.e. from extension manager, web browser, etc) are a questionable idea from a security perspective.
