Thanks, Stan. When I tried to remove kernel-headers-4.11.10-200,
dnf said it wanted to remove a lot of other packages. Of course I said "no".
If I downgrade the headers to 4.11.8, will it also need to downgrade all those other
packages? (I've never downgraded anything.)
There will be only one kernel-headers package on your system and is normally updated
each time the kernel gets updated.
So, if you've downloaded the 4.11.8 kernel-headers you should just be able to do....
dnf erase kernel-headers
followed by
dnf install ./kernel-headers-whatever.rpm
