The machine is actually .x86_64, as I have now discovered. I tried adding --allowerasing and --allowerasing --best, but with no success.
Do I dare do something like "dnf remove compiz"?? (Or perhaps "dnf remove */compiz/*/.i686 ???)
Someone encouraged me, and I hit it with the big hammer: "dnf remove *.i686" That took nothing I recognized, and the regular system upgrade worked perfectly afterward. Many many thanks to all!
