Is it Fedora 28? dnf? some dnf dependency? or my laptop? that is
broken?
I just ran an update on fc28.x86_64 and there were no problems. Well,
other than package conflicts like snmp and clamav that are keeping them
from updating, and have been for a while. When I tried looking at snmp
there were a lot of conflicts, and it wasn't easy for me to find the
lynch pin to unravel the problem.
I suspect you hit some sort of corner case in loading updates. As
Jeandet Alexis says, you could try cleaning everything, or even just
metadata, and then repeating your update.
