A new issue is best started in a separate thread instead of hijacking
someone else's thread, as you did.  It keeps threads neat and tidy too.

At what stage was it interrupted?  If it was during update it isn't as
problematic as if it is during cleanup, I think, when a package could
be left in a partially finished state.

I think it was better not to run dnf clean all.  You should have just
run a repeat of dnf update because the system would have been in a sane
state.  By running clean all, you wiped all metadata.

I think the errors are because there is some cruft left over from the
update.  Try using
dnf distrosync
If that doesn't work, you can try
dnf -x glib2 update
to see if it will fix all the other problems and ignore glib2 for now.
Usually, the problem that glib2 is reporting is a packaging error, but
I suspect it isn't in this case because of the update interrupt.  Once
everything else is fixed, you might have to manually remove the glib2
packages in conflict because they are cruft left over from the
interrupted update.
