Description Timur Kristóf 2015-08-14 19:44:59 UTC 
Description of problem:
The --exclude or -x option doesn't work with the dnf distro-sync command.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.0.2-3.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.

Precondition:
Have a package installed that isn't from the Fedora repo. For example, skype.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a root terminal
2. Run 'dnf distro-sync -x skype'

Actual results:
dnf wants to remove skype, even though I excluded it with the -x option.

Expected results:
dnf shouldn't touch skype, because I excluded it with the -x option.

Comment 2 Timur Kristóf 2015-09-01 11:43:36 UTC 
I could not reproduce the issue with dnf-1.1.0-2.fc22.noarch ― maybe it has been fixed?

Comment 4 Serge Matveenko 2015-10-12 12:54:31 UTC 
It looks like this reproduces when installonly packages exceeding installonly_limit. As long as the old kernel packages are marked  for removal so are an excluded packages.
