Math is required. Unless your packages cache is elsewhere than on an extX /
filesystem, do:
df /
Did it yet increase by as much as the amount of additional freespace required
that
dnf system-upgrade first reported? If no, upgrade and remove another large rpm
from the filesystem, and check again. Repeat until the number has become large
enough. This only works as intended with a real remove, not with some file
manager
that moves to trash instead of actually removing. I use only mc or fcl or
various
cmdline utils for file management, never Dolphin or Thunar or any other GUI file
manager.
Also, if you added kernel* to dnf.conf skip list, you can remove it from the
cache. DNF pretends everything in the skip list does not exist. The 5 raw 6.8.7
or
6.8.5 rpms are well upwards of 100MB. When time comes that upgrade has otherwise
completed, kernel* must be removed from the skip list to allow dnf to upgrade to
the current kernel.
