dnf upgrade of virtual box sequence

[Wheaties]

The update sequence seems wrong, taking steps to apply 6.1.6 after 6.1.8

Output to screen:

This host (really is fedora 31) After install 'dnf info virtualbox' and 'dnf info virtualbox-6.1' give different answers:

SO you ended up with an Installation of 6.1.8_137981_fedora31 from the System repository _and_ still having 6.1.6 Release : 1.fc30 Architecture, which is presumably for Fedora 30 from the rpmfusion-free-updates repository.

How you managed to get there, I don't know. Neither one is !Virtualbox software repository from us. I will look into my own Fedora31 host tomorrow.

This host started a few years ago with fedora-23 or 24. It could be the upgrade process has not updated the repository source information? I can certainly repoint the repo info to virtualbox.org

I did an upgrade to fedora 31, deleted virtualbox and re-installed from the virtualbox repo. Looking forward to seeing the fedora32 repo set up.
