I know how to install a specific version or how to exclude a package from transactions, but I want to mark a specific version of package to be skipped. Is that possible? Background: gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.9 has a known issue, which is already [fixed in upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/issues/216) . It's just a matter of time, when that update will become available in fedora 36. Anyway, I downgraded that package and still want to dnf update my machine, without remembering: hey, exclude that package - or worse: exclude it using dnf.conf and forget about it.
