So, the xorg-x11 packages which aren't being provided need to be removed from the base-x definition.

Packages to be added: 

Comps group:  

Default: 

Mandatory: 

Visible: 

Multi-lib: 

Need to be present for arches:

Comment 1 Ed Greshko 2016-05-26 11:41:50 UTC

Affects F24 as well.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2016-05-26 11:45:46 UTC

It's possible part of this could be a dnf bug too.

That said, comps probably shouldn't include references to non-existent packages either.  I'll work on a pull request for that.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2016-05-26 12:02:39 UTC

Missing items on my f24/x86_64 box, and mentioning pkg (Exclude/Exlusive)|Arch tags:

xorg-x11-drv-armsoc : ExclusiveArch: %{arm} aarch64
xorg-x11-drv-freedreno : ExclusiveArch: %{arm} aarch64
xorg-x11-drv-mga : dead.package
xorg-x11-drv-modesetting : dead.package (Obsoletes/Provides: xorg-x11-server-Xorg)
xorg-x11-drv-omap : ExclusiveArch: %{arm}

So, we can definitely remove the items that no longer exist, but not sure how arch-specific packages are supposed to be handled:
* does comps have any way to mark something arch-specific?
* should dnf handle this more gracefully (and be non-fatal)?

ah, appears already reported and tracked @ bug #1339742 , marking as dup
