So, to repeat my question about a dnf exclude: In the absence of any
exclude in the dnf.conf file, what prevents the next 'dnf update' from
installing a version later than 470xx (e.g., 495), which doesn't work
with this video adaptor?
They are different packages, not different versions. "akmod-nvidia" is
not an upgrade for "akmod-nvidia-470xx" which is not an upgrade for
"akmod-nvidia-390xx".
