Description of problem:
This is content of my dnf.conf:

~~~
$ cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True

keepcache=True

exclude=libreoffice-gtk2,libreoffice-help-en,hunspell-en,sane-backends-drivers-cameras,gnome-tweaks,openssl-pkcs11
~~~

But the packages are not excluded from the transaction:

~~~
$ LANG=C.UTF-8 sudo dnf update --disablerepo=rhel7-csb -x kernel\* | grep openssl-pkcs11
 openssl-pkcs11                              x86_640.4.8-1.fc29                           rawhide                57 k
~~~

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.
Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2018-10-03 13:29:49 UTC 
This seems to be resolved by an update to:

~~~
$ rpm -q libdnf
libdnf-0.20.0-2.fc30.x86_64
~~~
Comment 4 Jaroslav Rohel 2018-10-03 13:44:59 UTC 
Command line argument "-x kernel\*" overrode the exclude from dnf.conf.
