Of note, when I removed nvidia I saw

Jun 28 08:09:34 DDEBUG Extra commands: ['xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*']

Note that some packages seem (true/false?) to be FC23 related?
Is Package kmod-nvidia-4.5.6-200.fc23.x86_64.x86_64 1:358.16-2.fc24 a
23 or 24 package?

Could there be contention if they are fc23 packages?
