Right, so this is really the problem. The error message is simply wrong
plus it doesn't say that the debug symbols actually don't match.
$ rpm -q systemd systemd-debuginfo
systemd-239-13.gitf4afb95.fc29.x86_64
systemd-debuginfo-239-3.fc29.x86_64
For some reason, I thought that the debuginfo matched the systemd version.
Sorry about the misinformation. The fact that dnf considers these two
versions a match and doesn't install the correct version is another issue.
Thank you for pointing me to the right direction.
