Description of problem:

After initial install from iso, kernel, kernel-modules, and kernel-modules-extra are all marked as userinstalled. But after pulling in the new kernel through dnf upgrade, no kernel packages are marked as userinstalled.

Running dnf autoremove gives Error:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.9-5.fc31


How reproducible:

Brand new install of Fedora 31, upgrade adding a new kernel in addition to the one with the release, run dnf autoremove.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 31
2. Run dnf upgrade to update system, bringing in a new kernel
3. Run dnf autoremove

Actual results:
