There's no reason it should own /usr/bin . It looks like the problem is that it sets a different mode on it than the `filesystem` package does, which dnf/rpm will see as a conflict: two packages can contain the same file or directory without conflict only so long as the file or directory is identical and has identical properties in both. If they diverge at all, it becomes a package conflict. The obvious thing you can do for now is simply remove the google-earth package; after that the upgrade should work fine. You can then look at ways to reinstall Google Earth on the upgraded system. Since the dnf erase command doesn't work, or tries to remove over 211M of files, do you mean just to remove the directory tree for the offending package using the rm command?
