I needed to downgrade the xorg-x11* packages on an F23 Vbox based system so I can get the drivers to run in full-screen. I would like to have apper not tell me that 14 packages are available for update. I can exclude them so dnf doesn't touch them. I could hide Software Updates from the systray so it would be less annoying and just use dnf...but would like to be visually notified of updates. I thought creating a /etc/yum.conf with an exclude line would do the trick...but no.
Any ideas?

Try putting the exclude into the .repo files, those are supposed to be honored by all the tools.

on F23 it's pretty sure /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and not yum.conf
one reason more that it was completly insane not finish the dnf development (actually it's alpha or beta software) and rename it back to yum with all the same configuration paths instead dig around where things are moved now

dnf.conf is also ignored by PackageKit. The only config files that are really read by all tools are the .repo files.
ok, i am going out to puke deep from my heart....

I think my run on sentence may have confused folks. I did put the exclude in the dnf.conf to silence dnf from trying to upgrade. It had no effect on apper. Now I have the exclude in all the enabled repos and still no joy. :-(

That's an outright PackageKit or libhif bug then. :-( There is no excuse for not honoring the exclude lines in the .repo files.

I suppose the good news is "it isn't a plasma bug". :-) :-)

I just tested this and it worked for me. *However*, I did force a metadata refresh after making the change.
pkcon refresh force
try that ^^ ?

Yes, I did that after being "schooled" in the "apper after upgrade thread".

OK, can you post *exactly* what you're trying, so that I can duplicate things?
What I did, was downgrade kgamma-5.4.3 (from kde-testing) to kgamma-5.4.2 (updates) with:
dnf downgrade kgamma
Then, I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo
[kde-testing] ... exclude=kgamma
and after refreshing, neither pk-plasma-updates or apper reports that as an update anymore.
When I remove the exclude=kgamma
apper reports it as available again.

dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg
edited all the enabled fedora repos so ...
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# grep excl *repo fedora.repo:exclude=xorg-x11* fedora-updates.repo:exclude=xorg-x11* fedora-updates-testing.repo:exclude=xorg-x11*
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# pkcon refresh force
And apper reports 14 packages available for upgrade

Where you put the exclude lines in those files is important too, they must by in the [fedora] [fedora-updates] [fedora-updates-testing] sections respectively (not in -debuginfo or -sources)

Please remove the exclude from dnf.conf and retest (it should not be needed if in .repo files). I'm curious if it dnf behavior is the same as pk or not wrt to exclude= in .repo files only.

I guess the wildcards don't work, you probably have to list the packages individually (comma-separated).
