One thing you can try would be to move /var/cache/dnf/packages.db out of the way and then
run "dnf list installed" which will rebuild the db.
Good idea, but it didn't help in this case. I did move it out of the way and run the "dnf list installed", and it did rebuild the packages.db file, but I still get:
[root@cobweb dnf]# dnf list cups\*
Last metadata expiration check: 17:01:11 ago on Tue Jul 5 19:57:02 2016.
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@cobweb dnf]#
[root@cobweb dnf]# dnf list cups\*
Last metadata expiration check: 17:01:11 ago on Tue Jul 5 19:57:02 2016.

[root@cobweb dnf]#
--Greg
I just "tested" this on a VM and the rebuild occurs and everything is normal.
