If you do a man on that, man 8 dnf.plugin.protected_packages it tells you to put the package you want protected in /etc/dnf/protected.d I would put the kernel package you want to protect in there, and then try removing it with dnf. See if it tells you that it is protected. If it doesn't, don't press Y. :-) The man page also says that the currently running kernel is protected, but I have seen elsewhere that dnf does *not* protect the currently running kernel, and that this is per design. If worst comes to worst, and you need to install an older kernel package, go to koji and download an rpm you know works, and force install it. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
