Re: dnf didn't exclude and clobbered the package I wanted to keep - what went wrong...?

Thanks Rex - I knew there was an answer I hadn't found...

But, I also knew that what I was wanting to do was as per the kernel -
so, why isn't there an 'installonlypkgs' line for the kernel in dnf.conf
- I would have found what I was after if there was...

If fact, iirc, I believe I looked at 'installonlypkgs' in the man page,
noted waht it said about kernels and dismissed that option because there
is no line in dnf.conf for the kernel...

My dnf.conf:
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
exclude=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1*
excludepkgs=master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1*

Any comment?
