If I downgrade the headers to 4.11.8, will it also need to > downgrade all those other packages? (I've never downgraded anything.) Removing is a lot different than downgrading. As Ed said, there is only one kernel-headers package on the system, so removing it wants to remove anything which depends on it. Downgrading is not going to remove the dependency, it is going to change the version of it. So, it should ignore all those dependencies because they aren't going to be affected. When I just tried the command on my system, dnf just wanted to grab the lower version of the headers. I said 'no' to the question of whether I wanted to continue, but I presume it would have just downloaded the package and replaced the existing package. You can try it easily. Just type the downgrade command, and if the transaction wants to still remove all those dependent packages, answer 'no' to the continue question, and post your experience here. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
