Just the one update.

If you want to exclude the packages for all updates you'll need to put the "exclude" statement in
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf

man dnf.conf

You are not doing to believe this but after excluding the packages, the update does not give any errors upfront. 

There still are problems like the display server crashing out of nowhere, but the system is not broken.
