What does journalctl -r show happening before the error?

Is there a pid file left around from a previous crash?

What updates were performed?  I think you can see that
in /var/log/dnf.log?  If there is something there that looks like it
might have caused the problem, you can do a dnf downgrade on that
package, or if it is no longer available in older version go to 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/search?match=glob&type=package
to pick up the older binary rpm and use
dnf -C downgrade [package name].
