Apr 18 06:53:01 nbecker2 systemd[1]: dnf-system-upgrade.service: Triggering OnFailure= dependencies. When I had run sudo dnf upgrade --refresh I had trouble running because there wasn't enough space on /boot, so I edited /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to set installonly_limit=2 which allowed dnf upgrade --refresh to proceed. I now have 47% usage on /boot. But this error seems related, because I saw the same error when I tried to remove old kernels before I set installonly_limit=2.
