On F26 as soon as I sent my OP I rebooted, did dnf clean all, rpm --rebuilddb, dnf update, dnf distro-sync, then shut down and went to bed. Distro-sync did nothing but remove 225 packages. I did similar with F25, but don't remember particulars other than it reacted differently to a similar sequence of events, most of which are in my OP. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
