(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

This reproducible in F31 and Rawhide.


You are switching editions there... so you will need to pass '--allowerasing' and the matecompiz release should replace the workstation one.

If you want to just install the desktop and not switch editions, install the @mate-desktop group not the environment.

@kevin @grinnz sorry for long respond, for some reason i missed notifications.

If i install @mate-desktop dnf still complaining:

but with --allowerasing it's fine. Probably safe to close but in same time other DE's and groups installs without this issue so this could be not obvious for users.

Closing this one given that it's really old and would need to be tried again on a recent Fedora release.
