I think you must have interrupted a kernel update at some point; after install, but before completion. You could try rebuilding the rpm database; as root run rpm --rebuilddb You could try the dnf equivalent of the yum package-cleanup commands. dnf repoquery --unsatisfied dnf repoquery --installonly to see what kinds of results you get. They are documented in man yum2dnf If you go back through /var/log/dnf.log.*, is there any kind of report of irregularity when the 4.8.6 kernel is being installed? Just some ideas. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
