Turns out the two systems that failed were the two that get used a lot. On
those, I had been having some kind of problem printing that required
downgrading the cups packages in order to get it working again, so I had
"exclude=cups*" in the dnf.conf file. Remove that and all is well. I was
afraid that this was a problem that was much larger than it actually was,
and in fact the example I chose is the only place it actually caused an
issue.

One of those things where, after tearing my hair out for a few days,
someone says "did you check this dumbass thing over here" and that turns
out to be it. I don't know why I didn't think of checking the dnf.conf file
to begin with.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this issue.

Note to self: <facepalm>remove excludes from dnf.conf before doing a
