I'm pretty sure just using the "sudo dnf update --refresh" command in terminal will fix this problem. It will ask you verify those packages new repositories. After that, you should be good using the store again for updates. This is assuming you upgraded from Fedora 40 before these errors occurred.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey. Thank you. It worked for me! Finaly got the time to use my pc again. Have a great weekend.

Following this guide, an error will occur re the pgp during the install, it did for me. Make sure you run *both after the cli commands
sudo dnf check-update && sudo dnf upgrade
and
sudo dnf install --refresh proton-vpn-gnome-desktop
You must accept the keys as outlined or it fails down the road. It never asked until running above code.
That did it for me. Good luck.
It sounds like Proton VPN (or its repo) is causing issues for you. Given that it's a paid service, you can probably contact their support.
Alternatively, you can also look for the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, something like /etc/yum.repos.d/file_name.repo, for Proton VPN. You can then disable it by renaming it to .repo.disabled and try again (sudo dnf upgrade in the terminal). Note: This is not really a permanent solution, as it will disable updates for Proton VPN.
You should also be able to disable the repo from within the Software store app
A lot of times you will see the format string for the fedora version in the .repo file. This means its probably looking for f41. Since fedora updates fast, third party repos are usually slow to move to the next version and this repo probably doesnt exist causing dnf to fail. You can try and change the format string to the last available version. It usually works without issue, and updates aren't disabled as long as the vendor updates that version
I had something similar going on in Fedora Silverblue. I didn't really want to fiddle with it at the moment, so I just uninstalled whatever I got from ProtonVPN and the update went smooth afterwards. I hope someone else can point you towards a better answer.
did you download & try to install it or is it coming from your package manager?
I have downloaded it with terminal for some months ago. Its just now when I want to download the updates the software store in Fedora shows me,that the issue is coming.
Did you download it using yum or dnf?
Dnf
the proton package was already in your repository list?
are you able to share your yum repo configuration?
Uh i dont know how 😄
can you type the command history into your terminal and share it with us because it's important to know where the package comes from since it's unlikely that any of proton's products are already in your repository list.
Oh i didnt Know i will do that when I'm home from work.
be sure to leave out sensitive things like passwords, names, etc.
Added some repo thats unsigned it seems get the official
