Downgrading mesa-dri-drivers leads to a situation where the GNOME Wayland Session no longer starts. The error message suggest it is due to a version mismatch of the mesa build and the drivers.
This is due to the fact that downgrading mesa-dri-drivers only downgrades mesa-filesystem with it but none of the other mesa libraries. All mesa packages that require version matching should depend on appropriately strict NEVRs of their actual dependencies.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf downgrade mesa-dri-drivers
2. Reboot
3. GNOME Session fails to start, failsafe Xorg server starts ("Oh no! Something has gone wrong")
Actual Results:
Wayland fails to launch due to driver and mesa version mismatch.
Expected Results:
dnf downgrade mesa-dri-drivers will downgrade all dependent packages with it and the system will remain in a functional state.

Fixing this bug may also aid in fixing issues with mesa drivers from third party repositories not properly conflicting with newer mesa libraries.
