Description verymadmango 2026-05-21 18:39:27 UTC 
For some reason I cannot update for over a week, initially I had a problem with Spotify, which I uninstalled, this seems unrelated, except it's also appearing when I try to update. I tried upgrading that specific package by hand and running distro sync, but no luck. The fact that it's i686 is also a bit weird.

I found more problems when running dnf check. I had a bunch of duplicate packages, looked like an incomplete update. I removed the duplicates and I could distro sync then.

Not sure if getting rid of duplicates did it or the packages synced up, but it works now!
