intel-media-driver "is already installed" but also "is not installed"!? fedora 31

So basically I installed "intel-media-driver-19.3.1-1.fc31.x86_64.rpm" (va-driver we'll call it for now) to fix suspend issues caused by my intel graphics. Worked great for about a day, then the suspend issues came back. I spent a while troubleshooting, then found out va-driver uninstalled itself. No issue I thought, I'll install it again, but then it was already installed!? Somehow this package is in-between being installed and not being installed. I saw similar things on Ubuntu 19.10 (i didn't know what caused the issues at the time), I assume va-driver came installed, and I know suspend worked, then after a day or so suspend just broke. The issues are non-existent on Mint.

Have a look for yourself

[james@localhost Downloads]$I'm not that experienced in Fedora, so I don't know the RPM package manager very well. I did try "--nosignature" since I saw that NOKEY warning, but it didn't help, it did get rid of that error though.
