Interesting. I did a dnf whatprovides /var/lib/dnf/yumdb and it came up with the dnf-data.. It is installed on all 4 machines, but 3 don't have the yumdb directory?? Perhaps it is created during the transistion of a system that was using yum to dnf, so it is only created at that point?? moved the yumdb directory to yumdb.old and then did a dnf reinstall dnf-data and it did not create the yumdb directory. ran the dnf remove dnf-data, and it gives error and doesn't list what it would modify. In /var/lib/dnf/yumdb.old find . | wc -l 45700 This ended up leaving only subdirectories. find . | grep -v "fc29\|fc28\|fc27\|fc26" | grep -v "\-15-7" | grep -v "keys-29" | grep -v "29-" | grep -v flash-plugin | grep -v google-chrome | grep -v adobe-release Almost all files had fc29 -fc26 find . | grep -v "fc29\|fc28\|fc27\|fc26" | wc -l 137 So must have been created in process of upgrading from fc29 to fc30??
