Fedora provides you, free of charge, a perfectly good, working,
operating system. And they maintain that system. As provided.

You modified it by adding a package, or packages, from a non Fedora
site(s). Fedora provided improvements and bug fixes for the system that
they provide and maintain that 'broke' when you modified that system?

You modified your system. So you should fix it.
