Fedora 39
I use qemu-kvm virtual machines all the time.
Do I need these fc38 (not 39) packages still?

Please don't ask for every F38 package you find. If it's not something you're using and removing it doesn't take away something you're using, then remove it if it bothers you to have it installed.
# dnf reinstall libvirt-designer* --releasever=39
That command doesn't even make sense. If the package is F38, then "reinstall" is clearly not going to work if you specify F39 as the release. And if it worked, you would still have the same version anyway. Use "upgrade" instead.

If you want more info, you can check koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14881 This package hasn't even been attempted to be built for F39 yet. And from there, you can find out why. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt-designer "Package is no longer developed upstream and nothing uses it"
I don't think it's ever been a default package, so you must have installed it yourself at some point.

I had a list of about 30 of them that I either removed or upgraded to 39. I only asked about three of them. Then rest I could find with wev searches. etc..

I used reinstall to force things to 39. Sometimes I had to use downgrade to get them into 39 as the 38 package was a higher revision.
For example: cups-1:2.4.7-2.fc38.x86_64 cups-1:2.4.7-1.fc39.x86_64

I agree.
Me thinks it may have been left over from when I had to use "up stream's" packages to get past a bug.
$ rpm -ql libvirt-designer-0.0.2-19.fc38.x86_64 /usr/bin/virt-designer /usr/lib/.build-id /usr/lib/.build-id/80 /usr/lib/.build-id/80/8f73cfe1b564de469fecd723d23e764b206696 /usr/share/man/man1/virt-designer.1.gz
$ ls -al /usr/bin/virt-designer -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 29512 Jan 18 2023 /usr/bin/virt-designer
And it has no been touched since "Jan 18 2023"

Hmmmmm. Me thinks I will remove them anyway and see who complains. And I just removed the above and three (most important) of my nine VM's are still working..
Progress so far:
$ rpm -qa | grep -v kernel | grep -i fc38 dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-20.fc38.noarch dejavu-sans-fonts-2.37-20.fc38.noarch bitstream-vera-sans-fonts-1.10-48.fc38.noarch netcdf-4.9.0-5.fc38.x86_64 cabextract-1.9.1-5.fc38.x86_64 virglrenderer-0.10.4-2.20230104git88b9fe3b.fc38.x86_64
So I am pretty close to finished. I reported the fonts to bugzilla.
Thank you!
