Installing KDE? Everything downloads but stays cached? (Again?!)

So I had a very similar issue years ago, the caveat is, the work around for it isn’t working here.
so I tried 4 different things, none worked, see the pastebin link (it was too long to put in the message here). I have also noticed that trying to install fairly mundane things like nfs-common in an appvm gives me a similar error:

Failed to resolve the transaction:
No match for argument: nfs-common
You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages

in looking through the forum I wasn’t able to find any other posts that seemed to be similar so alas, I am posting in hopes a guru can help

Thanks in advance.

PS When i logout or reboot and then check the DE option, XFCE is the only thing that comes up.

The thing is, apper and some other packages that can’t be found, are indeed deprecated in fedora 41. So you might just skip them.

Also a noticeable change is that to use KDE 6.4.0+ in x11 environment, you’ll need to install plasma-workspace-x11 instead of just plasma-workspace.
