I am getting the following error while doing a dnf update on a centos 8 server. I have already tried the following:

dnf clean all
dnf distro-sync
dnf update --best --allowerasing

Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:15 ago on Sun 27 Dec 2020 09:00:12 AM EST.
Error:
 Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package libgs-9.25-7.el8.x86_64
  - problem with installed package libgs-9.25-7.el8.x86_64
  - package libgs-9.25-7.el8.x86_64 requires libidn.so.11()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - package libgs-9.25-7.el8.x86_64 requires libidn.so.11(LIBIDN_1.0)(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package libidn-1.34-5.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install both libidn-1.36-1.0.el8.x86_64 and libidn-1.34-5.el8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Edit:

I had to disable the city-fan as it was trying to update newer packages.I need the city-fan repo only for curl

I eventually enable city-fan repo but allowed it to update only curl.The /etc/yum.repos.d/city-fan.repo should be as follows:

[CityFan]
name=City Fan Repo
baseurl=http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/yum-repo/rhel$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
includepkgs=curl*
exclude=*

I hope this helps someone.
