Good idea, but it didn't help in this case. I did move it out of the way
and run the "dnf list installed", and it did rebuild the packages.db file,
but I still get:

[root@cobweb dnf]# dnf list cups\*
Last metadata expiration check: 17:01:11 ago on Tue Jul  5 19:57:02 2016.
Error: No matching Packages to list
[root@cobweb dnf]#
