Actually, what I was referring to was when you do something upgrade to
Fedora 38 over the top of Fedora-something-older. As opposed to a
clean install on an empty drive.
If you do install the same package twice on your existing system,
because you thought something went awry, dnf should handle that fine.
Although re-installing something is rarely the solution. It really
only makes sense if you know you've lost some of the packages files.
