Description Jeremy Cline 2016-10-25 15:22:18 UTC 
So this is a bit odd and I haven't really dug into the root cause, _and_ there's a fairly simple work around, but I thought I'd report it anyway.

If you have the latest version of python-pkgwat-api installed, python2-pkgwat-api-0.12-11.fc24.noarch, and try to run ``dnf install python-pkgwat-api``, this is what happens:

[vagrant@hubs-dev ~]$ sudo dnf install python-pkgwat-api
Last metadata expiration check: 0:42:13 ago on Tue Oct 25 14:15:30 2016.
Error: installed package python2-pkgwat-api-0.12-11.fc24.noarch obsoletes python-pkgwat-api < 0.12-11.fc24 provided by python-pkgwat-api-0.12-8.fc24.noarch
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

[vagrant@hubs-dev ~]$ sudo dnf install python-pkgwat-api --allowerasing

Is this ok [y/N]: N


However, the latest version is already installed if I explicitly say ``python2-pkgwat-api`` and that package seems to provide ``python-pkgwat-api``:

[vagrant@hubs-dev ~]$ sudo dnf install python2-pkgwat-api
Last metadata expiration check: 0:48:08 ago on Tue Oct 25 14:15:30 2016.
Package python2-pkgwat-api-0.12-11.fc24.noarch is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
[vagrant@hubs-dev ~]$ sudo dnf provides python-pkgwat-api

This is a long standing dnf bug. ;)

I think this works fine on F25 at least I checked by asking dnf to install python-pkgwat-api and python2-pkgwat-api and both times result was already installed.
Tested dnf version was dnf-1.1.10-2.fc25

Ahhh, I'm surprised I've never run into this before. Thanks!
