Hi All,

When adding multiple excludes to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, what is the proper syntax?

[main]
exclude=xrdp
exclude=xorgxrdp

or
exlude=xrdp,xorgxrdp
or
exlude=xrdp xorgxrdp

I don't think this is a duplicate. The linked Q/A does not tell you the syntax to exclude two packages or a list of packages, which was the question here. It also does not tell you how to exclude packages in Fedora releases that use dnf 2.x.

For dnf versions < 2.0 like in Fedora 25:

exclude=package1 package2 abc* *xyz

Source: man dnf.conf

For dnf > 2.0 (like in Fedora 26 +):

excludepkgs=package1 package2 abc* *xyz

Source: latest DNF online docs

excludepkgs or exclude ?

Not seeing "exclude" in "man dnf.conf" and the opposite in "man dnf"

I edited my answer, options are different for DNF 1.x and 2.x. BTW: In your case a exlude=x*rdp would be sufficient but that's coincidence.

If I wanted to use a wild card to exclude abcxxx, abcyyy, abczzz packages, would the syntax be

exclude=xrdp xorgrdp abc*
