Did you try it with "-v" as suggested?
Hi Sam,
I missed that one. And it helped me figure it out.
# dnf -v upgrade thunderbird
...

Excludes in dnf.conf: metasploit-framework
Double checking my dnf.conf, I had two excluepkgs:
[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=3
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
excludepkgs=thunderbird*
excludepkgs=metasploit-framework
The second one overwrote the first one.
Combining excludepkgs, using a space as the delimiter, now
gives:
# dnf upgrade thunderbird
Last metadata expiration check: 1:31:36 ago on Mon 19 Oct 2020 11:42:14
AM PDT.
No match for argument: thunderbird
Error: No packages marked for upgrade.
Thank you!

I got tripped up by the way bash imports
settigs from conf files.
abc=def
sets the variable abc to "def". If I repeat the line
abc=hij
it will overwrite the original with "hij".
This is the correction:
# grep -i exclude /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
excludepkgs=thunderbird* metasploit-framework

Which documentation did you find that in? The "dnf.conf" man page only
has "excludepkgs".

What does bash have to do with this?
This is the correction:
# grep -i exclude /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
excludepkgs=thunderbird* metasploit-framework
I think Jonathon's point was that the docs say to use a comma, not a
space for making the list. But maybe a space works as well.

What does bash have to do with this?
In bash it is called "sourcing". It executes
the file as if it was native code. The
command to do so is a dot
$ cat SourceExample.data
Todd=BestLookingEngineer
Sam=VerySmartLinuxGuy
$ cat SourceExample.bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
. SourceExample.data
echo "Todd = $Todd"
echo "Sam = $Sam"
$ bash -c SourceExample.bash
Todd = BestLookingEngineer
Sam = VerySmartLinuxGuy
$ bash -x -c SourceExample.bash
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ case "$-" in
+ __lmod_vx=x
+ '[' -n x ']'
+ set +x
+ unset __lmod_vx
+ SourceExample.bash
Todd = BestLookingEngineer
Sam = VerySmartLinuxGuy

I always have used a space. Someday, maybe I will try both.

I understand how bash works, I was wondering how that was relevant to
dnf. Especially since it effectively works the same anyway, last
assignment wins.

Probably reading the file in the same manner. Last
entry wins

I don't use excludepkgs but only exclude to stop kernel upgrade in rawhide.
exclude=kernel*
I've no issue.

excludepkgs

The definition of list further down on the same page:
listIt is an option that could represent one or more strings separated by
space or comma characters.
