Has de_DE.UTF-8 moved to de_DE.utf8 ?

It is not clear what actions caused you to get locale dnf error. I see you either can have bug in dnf package or glibc package which provides locales.

langpacks-de package is just meta package which pulls other packages including glibc-langpack-de.

One possibility we can check here is upgrade path for glibc packages. I just got fresh Fedora 27 system with updates applied. Now upgrading it to F28 to see if I can upgrade it.

And I did update my system successfully in de_DE.UTF-8 locale, reboot the system in f28 and ran "dnf update" and it gave no errors. The locale output in Fedora 28 is same 
[user@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

and the glibc package list after update is
[user@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep glibc
glibc-devel-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
glibc-common-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
glibc-langpack-en-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
glibc-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
glibc-all-langpacks-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64

I have not installed langpacks-de on this system yet.

Please note I tested above on Gnome desktop only and I believe there should not be any difference to LXDE desktop.

I am not able to reproduce the issue reported here on Gnome.
