Trouble upgrading Fedora Server to release 41

Hello all,

I tried to upgrade my Fedora Server instance from 40 to 41. I followed the [Upgrading Fedora](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/) guide and made sure my system was up to date first.

The upgrade says it is successful and uname -a reports that I am running fc41. However the repos are still listed as fc40, and dnf upgrade shows that hundreds of packages are listed for upgrade. I tried running dnf distro-sync which also listed hundreds of files to be upgraded, and ultimately failed on an nvidia file.

I have tried this upgrade 3 times with same results each time. (It is a VM and I have a snapshot that I revert to each time.) Does anyone know how to get past this problem please?
