I suppose a "sudo dnf clean all" had helped too: 88 files removed. After the download KDiskFree reported 3.9 GB free in /, and dnf said that was the total package size.  "df / " said 4093160 blocks.  After the reboot I removed the excludes, ran dnf upgrade again, and installed locally built MythTV rpms.


sounds like /var is par of the root file system. To test, "cd /var ; df -k ." to see if it is. If so, usually /var/cache, /var/tmp and /var/log is a good place to find a lot of unneeded stuff to clean out. To find the biggest offenders, cd to one of those directories (/var/cache for example) and then use the command "sudo du -sh *" to get a listing of each file/directory in the current directory and their sizes. You'd have to investigate further to see what can be safely removed.
