Hi Everyone, I'm trying to upgrade a KDE-based workstation from F38 to F39. I delayed the upgrade to ensure this workstation would remain available. The delay allowed a problem with powerdevil and libddcutil to creep in. It is causing `dnf update` and `dnf update --refresh` to fail. I use only Fedora repos. I don't have any third party repos enabled, like RPM Fusion. I see a couple of other specific questions about powerdevil and libddcutil from F38, but I don't see a clear path forward. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance. ----- $ sudo dnf update Package manager: /bin/dnf Fedora 38 - x86_64 8.7 MB/s | 83 MB 00:09 Fedora 38 OpenH264 (from Cisco) - x86_64 5.6 kB/s | 2.5 kB 00:00 Fedora Modular 38 - x86_64 2.3 MB/s | 2.8 MB 00:01 Fedora 38 - x86_64 - Updates 9.8 MB/s | 35 MB 00:03 Fedora Modular 38 - x86_64 - Updates 2.5 MB/s | 2.1 MB 00:00 Metadata cache created.
