      dnf versionlock comments added by the plugin (containing versionlock timestamp) are valued for compliance reasons.

      dnf versionlock delete [package] wipes all commented lines from /etc/dnf/plugins/versionlock.list

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock-4.0.21-19.el8_8.noarch

      How reproducible:
