Linux Update Problem

When I ‘dnf -y update’ it downloads all the packages, but at the end crashes with this error message:

Any idea how to tell it to ignore this and just do the other updates? I don’t see any obvious options on “dnf update.”

Thanks for the advice in comments. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with it until I get back from a trip on Friday.

The problem seems to have resolved itself while I was gone. I updated last night with no issues.
