Description markm 2016-06-14 11:15:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

Downloaded a Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Beta-1.6.iso image, requested to install MATE Desktop, got Cinnamon desktop as default installed. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Beta-1.6.iso


How reproducible:

tried two times in VirtualBox on two different PCs

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-24_Beta-1.6.iso
2. Start new installation
3. Select MATE Desktop

Actual results:

Installs Cinnamon desktop which is set as default

Expected results:

MATE Desktop installed and selected as default, Cinnamon not installed

Additional info:

I've added Dev tools and Libre Office if that matters - can try with just MATE Desktop.
Note, MATE Desktop is also installed, but it not selected as default.

Cinnamon isn't supposed to be installed at all. It's being pulled in via imsettings-cinnamon, which is pulled in to resolve the requirement for imsettings-desktop-module. There are several packages that provide this dependency, and the correct one was supposed to have been chosen by this section of the input-methods group in comps.xml:

<packagereq type="conditional" requires="gtk2">gtk2-immodule-xim</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="gtk3">gtk3-immodule-xim</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="gtk2">ibus-gtk2</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="gtk3">ibus-gtk3</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="qt">ibus-qt</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="xfce4-panel">im-chooser-xfce</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="cinnamon">imsettings-cinnamon</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="gnome-settings-daemon">imsettings-gsettings</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="lxde-common">imsettings-lxde</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="mate-settings-daemon">imsettings-mate</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="qt">imsettings-qt</packagereq>
<packagereq type="conditional" requires="xfce4-panel">imsettings-xfce</packagereq>

which is supoposed to install imsettings-mate, which isn't happening.

Running a test against the current f24 repo, I end up with imsettings-gsettings instead:
