Thank you,
without my knowledge my machine had acquired the modular version of
gimp, and wouldn't upgrade. I had to debug and finally remove the gimp
module and other things to be able to do a system upgrade.
The experience was annoying.

Not your fault, I think modularity is still very immature when it comes
to upgrades, so it shouldn't be used yet for very popular packages of
Fedora Workstation IMO.

Even if modularity does not allow this I hope a scriptlet can be
generated that could deal with this as a final module upgrade...
