This is the source of your problem! Adding any devel: projects may
result in a lot of problems; we just recently had that with some issues
when openssl stopped working properly... I'd suggest you lower the
priority of all such devel: repos/projects to something higher than 99
and check all packages you have installed from any of these devel:
repos/projects!

I just added a BuildRequire: to ban any fmt version >= 10!
