I last updated my laptop on 12/26. It is running fc28.x86_64
Today I tried to run dnf update:
_hawkey.Exception: repo_add_solv() has failed.
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.
