Can I suggest that the DNF people ought to be interested in the fact that two
people prepared to say something on this list have a real problem that they
have no idea how to fix without doing a reinstall from scratch.
It sounds like there is a set up for which there is no problem and that is
good. It implies there is hope!
If given direction I can create a list of all packages installed, George I
suspect can do likewise. This then might be able to allow people to ascertain
what went wrong, why the tests didn't find it, and (the most important thing)
how to get out of this situation.
I did an "strace dnf check-update" and got:

but that isn't entirely helpful on its own I guess.
