another dnf problem

[Neal Becker]

I installed kernel* from updates-testing.  Now I want to go back to distro-sync.  
Let's try it:
sudo dnf distro-sync kernel*
Error: problem with installed package kernel-3.17.7-300.local.fc21.x86_64.
problem with installed package kernel-core-3.17.7-300.local.fc21.x86_64.
problem with installed package kernel-doc-3.17.4-200.fc20.noarch.
problem with installed package kernel-modules-3.17.7-300.local.fc21.x86_64.
problem with installed package kernel-modules-extra-3.17.7-300.local.fc21.x86_64

that didn't work, and not very informative.  How about?

[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ sudo dnf downgrade kernel*
Error: conflicting requests

Another loser.

OK, yum?
sudo yum distro-sync kernel*

OK, that sounds about right.  Let's try it:

Error Summary
-------------

OK, so maybe yum doesn't work either.
