Where in the Docs you found you should do that? Specifically -—enablerepo=* ?

I have no idea. I did say I put some of mu own tweaks into it.
Then you get to keep all the broken pieces to play with...
Roasting aside, there are often disabled repos on any system that normally stay disabled unless the user deliberately enabled them. Repos for debugging versions of files, for source RPMs, for testing versions, etc. You just enabled them with a wildcard.
I don't envy your job of unscrambling eggs, now.
Hi Tim,
Actually, you got me to thinking. There are only three programs I watch on the testing repo: Firefox, Thunderbird, and the bug riddled Wine.
At one time I had qemu-kvm too for some bug fixes, but they are now in the standard repo and the testing qemu is a bit buggy.
So I did a # dnf list installed | grep @updates-testing and found some interesting stuff I thought I had removed. Also there was something weird entangled with two different versions of Wine.
So anything I knew I did not want, I removed. With other things, I dnf downgraded. So I removed `-—enablerepo=*` from my cheat sheet. I thought I had removed abiword years ago and do not remember ever adding goffice. They are gone now. A bunch of others are gone too.
Things went smoothly after that.
I am thinking of doing a full `dnf list installed` and seeing what else I have hanging around that I thought I had removed or do not want anymore.
Thank you!
