Due to running into the same problem as Howard, I now do the following
whenever I set up a new Fedora system:
- Add a weekly cron job that runs "pkcon refresh force -c -1"
- Edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf to have the entry: "MaxRetentionSec=3month"

Even then, I always aggressively nuke stuff in /var/cache just before
doing a system upgrade, because the upgrade has a distressing tendency
to fail due to lack of space otherwise.
