On upgrading Fedora 27→28, the aforementioned error occurs. This seems to be due to a bug related to dnf.

Solution:

dnf install nss-pem-1.0.3-9.fc28 --releasever=28
dnf install python3-devel
python3 `which pip` install python-axolotl

custom Fedora packages, similar to Ubuntu's PPAs

Enable with dnf copr enable user/repo

user/repo purpose
che/mesa current Mesa 3D compiled against current LLVM
che/llvm current LLVM from git

Default is GRUB2. Fedora docs: Working with the GRUB 2 Boot Loader

Config location: /etc/default/grub

Generate config: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg (UEFI), grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (MBR)

Solution: reboot, then try again. (Source)
