I hadn't looked at your list before replying, but now I see that these
are pretty much standard packages from standard repos. I get a similar
list, so it would appear that "dnf list extras" doesn't do what it
claims to do. I don't know if that's a bug in dnf or a bug in the
documentation, but either way it might be worth reporting to BZ.
