Error: Problem: package gstreamer1-plugins-bad-1:1.12.4-3.fc27.x86_64 requires libchromaprint.so.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - libchromaprint-1.2-8.fc27.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - problem with installed package gstreamer1-plugins-bad-1:1.12.4-3.fc27.x86_64 Expected results: Upgrade proceeds.
My workaround was to update libchromaprint and gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free before the upgrade. sudo dnf install libchromaprint-1.4.2-2.fc28.x86_64 gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free --releasever=28 --allowerasing Then I was able to upgrade.
