You can do what Sergio suggested - `dnf distro-sync kernel-headers`. If you now have only the official repos enabled, that should downgrade it to the 'correct' current version for your release. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

Sergio, Thanks for responding to my plea... It's definitely appreciated. Part of the install of VirtualBox is the compilation of LKMs which use the kernel headers. Since 5-19 lacks support in VB (as far as I know at this point), if I run vboxconfig to recompile the LKMs, that compilation would fail and VB would stop working (I think). Parts of me thinks that if the compile fails, the targets of the compile process would remain unchanged but I'm not willing to take the chance. Sigh... Am I missing something here? Best regards, George...
