Fedora Workstation 31 I was doing a dnf upgrade (which I aborted), when I got the message:

So, my questions are: 1. Should I remove the installed nvidia packages and replace them with the meta-package? 2. Does the 'dnf list' imply that the nvidia packages for kernel 5.5 are not ready yet? 3. I don't want to upgrade the kernel until the nvidia package is available. What's the best way to monitor that?
