[CentOS] yum-cron

Hi, folks,

Has anyone else seen the issue of having an excludes= in /etc/yum.conf, but yum-cron appears to be ignoring it?

This may have been the case earlier this year, where it seemed to partly install a new kernel, then not done the post-install. I *think* that's what I'm seeing on a box with twin Tesla cards, with yum.conf: exclude=kernel* xorg* cuda* kmod*

and yet cron.daily reports:

/etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron:

Failed to check for updates with the following error message: Failed to build transaction: kmod-nvidia-384.90-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 requires nvidia-x11-drv = 384.90 nvidia-x11-drv-384.98-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 requires nvidia-kmod = 384.98
