Do you happen to have an "exclude" statement in your
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf?
And, instead of "install" what do you get when you simply tupe
dnf update
Hmm . . that worked - because I have a few different machines and I am
fairly regularly re-installing, and because after re-installing I have
a
range of programs that are used from routinely to very irregularly, I
have gotten into the habit of just using "dnf install" - then the
program gets installed if it hasn't been installed yet and just gets
updated if it has been already installed and there is a new version
available. So why does the kernel RPM behave differently?
The trick is "dnf install" only installs/updates things that you
specify
on the command line. "dnf update" (or "dnf upgrade" which is preferred)
looks at what's already installed on the system and updates those. So
unless you _specified_ the kernel on the "dnf install" command line, it
won't get upgraded.

- which is at odds with what you just wrote?
Thanks,
