That is the problem with the dnf technique, it doesn't give the actual package name, you have to put it together manually. On my system I ran the following convoluted command in order to isolate a single kernel. rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep 5\.8 | grep rc5 | less The results: kernel-modules-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-modules-internal-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-devel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-headers-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 kernel-tools-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 Notice that rpm returns the actual package name. So, I would just create a command like dnf remove \ kernel-core-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \ kernel-5.8.0-0.rc5.20200717git07a56bb875af.1.20200719.fc31.x86_64 \ etc. until all of them are listed. In an actual shell instead of an email message, the backslash escape is not needed, just a space between them. Double click to select, paste using middle mouse button, space, double click to select, paste using middle mouse button, space, etc. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
