Different results:
rpm -q --provides google-earth-stable
google-earth = 7.1.7.2606
google-earth-stable = 7.1.7.2606-0
google-earth-stable(x86-64) = 7.1.7.2606-0
But not the one with the issue???
Yes, because dnf complains about issues with the updated
google-earth-stable package, not the current one.
Try `rpm -e google-earth-stable'.

PS. Your quoting is bad (no indentation, so it misattributes quotes)
and this is really not a topic for the developers list.
# rpm -e google-earth-stable

Well, I tried the users list, no reply. I did google, bugzilla, and
checked as many search terms as I could. Upgrades via dnf are
relatively new, and since it was not on bugzilla, I thought before I
submitted one I should have sufficient supporting information on what
exactly is the bug. A non conforming package is going to happen on the
cutting edge, so this is something that bears investigation by the
developers, I would think.
Also if investigation proves that I caused it then providing people
with information to avoid the issue would be good, wouldn't it?
However installing a non supported package should not prevent an
upgrade, should it?
