My fedora 28 replace on 64-bit desktop.
After trying to update: dnf update.
I have an error: "Error: Transaction check error" and list of conflicts with message: "conflicts with file from package".
I had same problem on summer but I did nothing and conflicts disappeared. Now I have next:

Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/share/licenses/libcom_err/NOTICE from install of libcom_err-1.44.2-0.fc28.i686 conflicts with file from package libcom_err-1.43.8-2.fc28.x86_64
  file /etc/xattr.conf from install of libattr-2.4.48-3.fc28.i686 conflicts with file from package libattr-2.4.47-23.fc28.x86_64

Error Summary

How to fix it?
Upgrading the system to version 29 will help?

These conflicts are between the i686 version of the packages with the x86_64 versions. One way this can happen is if you have duplicate packages installed (when, for example, dnf crashes during an update). You can check if you have dupes for these packages with:

rpm -q libcom_err libattr

You can run the following to remove duplicates

sudo dnf remove --duplicates

Also, you may no longer need the i686 versions of these packages, and you could just try and remove them to see what happens:

sudo dnf remove libcom_err.i686 sudo dnf remove libattr.i686

(Definitely don't want to pass in the -y in instances like this since these removes may want to remove a lot of important packages, in which case you'll want to cancel the remove ...)

You should fix this before trying to upgrade to Fedora 29.

This list of error (https://pastebin.com/NwcyaxgP) I have after:

sudo dnf remove --duplicates

You should not have both versions of libcom_err as it's not needed. Erase libcom_err-1.44.2-0.fc28.i686 with

dnf remove libcom_err-1.44.2-0.fc28.i686

and check out your repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d . Maybe you have something superfluous there.

Strange. According to bodhi e2fsprogs-1.44.2-0 (which provides libcom_err-1.44.2-0) and attr-2.4.48-3 (which provides libattr-2.4.48-3) are on stable for five months now. I can see from your transaction that the new x86_64 packages cannot be updated. Probably you have a package that depends on libattr-2.4.47 preventing it to be a updated to its newest version. Try dnf repoquery --available --alldeps --whatrequires libattr-2.4.47-23.fc28.x86_64 to see which package depends on this version of libattr.

You cannot have both libattr-2.4.47-2 and libattr-2.4.48-3 (i686/x86_64) installed at the same time (the same for libcom_err). That's why the transaction failed. My guess is that some package needs libcom_err-2.43.8-2 (some 3rd party package?). You must find out which is the offending package. I'd download the newest version of libattr and libcom_err from koji and try a local update of those packages. dnf --whatrequires .... or rpm --whatrequires ... have never been reliable or useful in my experience.

And the 32-bit and 64-bit version of the package must be the same version number.

rpm -e --test libattr is one way to find the direct dependencies,
