Dependencies resolved.

 Problem: problem with installed package systemd-oomd-defaults-249.12-5.fc35.noarch
  - package mate-desktop-configs-1.26.0-4.fc35.noarch conflicts with systemd-oomd-defaults provided by systemd-oomd-defaults-249.12-5.fc35.noarch
  - package mate-desktop-1.26.0-4.fc35.x86_64 requires mate-desktop-configs = 1.26.0-4.fc35, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package mate-desktop-1.26.0-2.fc35.x86_64

Expected results:
an upgraded package

Additional info:
I see no obvious conflicting file in systemd-oomd-defaults and mate-desktop-configs, no overlapping files, and the update of mate-desktop-configs contains the same files as the currently installed version

see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068699
Using systemd-oomd-defaults can be a broblem for mate-desktop
For this reason i decided to use earlyoom.
So using --best --allowerasing will be remove systemd-oomd-defaults.
