Expected results:

Either updates are applied, or "nothing to do" reported.

Additional info:
The package in the error message varies, I've had net-snmp, NetworkManager-bluetooth, NetworkManager-wwan and psl so far.

Adding an argument to "dnf update", either individual packages or the '*' wildcard makes things work as expected.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.
