Description Davide Repetto 2016-07-09 01:59:35 UTC

Description of problem:
=======================
If MATE is chosen as a desktop environment while using the netinstall iso image from the Fedora24-workstation repository, strange things happen:

1) Cinnamon is installed alongside MATE and enabled by default in Lightdm

2) the glibc-langpack-xxx relative to the chosen locale is not installed and you get setlocale errors while executing commands.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================
Fedora 24 netinstaliso aka "boot.iso" from fedora/linux/releases/24/Workstation/x86_64/os/images

How reproducible:
=================
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select MATE as a desktop and maybe a non English locale.
2. Install
3. Create a default User and the root password 
4. Boot
5. Login

Actual results:
===============
You are logged in into Cinnamon
Localization is off

Expected results:
=================
You are logged in into mate
Proper localization

The first issue is a duplicate of bug 1336879. There is more information on exactly what is happening in bug 1346251: certain packages in comps are marked as to be conditionally installed if another package is installed, dnf does not support this attribute, and to resolve a imsettings dependency without this information dnf chooses to install cinnamon.

The second issue is a duplicate of bug 1352350.
