dnf-utils is pulled by recent updates (weak dependency), so dnf try to install it by default. But, if yum-utils is installed: Error: Transaction check error: file /usr/bin/debuginfo-install from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch file /usr/bin/find-repos-of-install from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch file /usr/bin/needs-restarting from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch file /usr/bin/package-cleanup from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch file /usr/bin/repo-graph from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch file /usr/bin/repoclosure from install of dnf-utils-4.0.4-1.fc29.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch ... 1/ I think an explicit conflicts should be added in this package 2/ A better weak dependency is needed to avoid dnf pulling it (and, perhaps, later, have to obsolete yum-utils)
I notice the conflicts is here Conflicts: yum-utils < 1.1.31-513 But is not correct # rpm -q yum-utils yum-utils-1.1.31-518.fc29.noarch

Do we have a fix/workaround? I have not been able to apply updates to my ferora 29 system since 2/22.

The yum-3 stack is completely removed from Fedora 31 and we no longer plan any yum-utils updates in earlier Fedora releases, hence closing this bug. (FTR, this particular issue seems to be fixed in Fedora 30.)
Note that the original PR linked above was later closed and replaced by the following one: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/344
... which was later reverted for Fedora (I almost forgot): https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-core/pull/352/
