FWIW, I experienced a similar situation.  A `dnf distro-sync` hung (I believe the system became unresponsive because a change in NetworkManager during the transaction was not compatible with my bonded eth config) and dnf was usable in only a very tedious way, with lots of reported conflicts and problems.  I used `package-cleanup --cleandupes` and was able to finish my distro-sync transaction, but discovered many of my installed packages were gone, things I use regularly like packaging tools, publican, firefox, etc.  I would not be surprised if your problem was due to missing packages.
