Dnf skipped -

[Bob Goodwin]

For the last three mornings I've been seeing dnf update skipped two rpms 
but have seen no complaints on this list so It seems like time to ask 
about it:

Skipped:
   VirtualBox-6.1.4-1.fc31.x86_64 VirtualBox-server-6.1.4-1.fc31.x86_64

Complete!

I installed virtualbox in anticipation of F-32beta but I have not 
installed anything in a vm yet if that matters?

Any particular reason not using KVM ?

KVM is part of the kernel, so it won't show up in dnf as a separate
package. For practical purposes, you use it via QEMU and libvirt. The
easiest way is just to run virt-manager, which has a basic GUI for
setting up a new VM.

Thank you sir, that works. I may not actually use it until Fedora 32 
beta is available but it appears on the menu and starts ,,,
