Thank you for reporting this. I will looking into this at the earliest.
+1 went to install xfce on a fresh install of Centos 7 and received the same error.
I will try to get this fixed today. Thanks for testing! :)
gnome-backgrounds has been added as a dependency for EPEL-7. The latest build should solve this issue. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=546034 This is what I see on my Centos 7 VM running KDE - [root@localhost Downloads]# yum install xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Examining xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm: xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 Marking xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package xfdesktop.x86_64 0:4.10.2-3.el7 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: gnome-backgrounds for package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: ftpmirror.your.org * epel: mirror.utexas.edu * extras: yum.tamu.edu * updates: mirrors.loosefoot.com --> Running transaction check ---> Package gnome-backgrounds.noarch 0:3.8.1-3.el7 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: xfdesktop x86_64 4.10.2-3.el7 /xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 2.3 M Installing for dependencies: gnome-backgrounds noarch 3.8.1-3.el7 base 9.2 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package (+1 Dependent package) Total size: 11 M Total download size: 9.2 M Installed size: 12 M Is this ok [y/d/N]: y Downloading packages: gnome-backgrounds-3.8.1-3.el7.noarch.rpm | 9.2 MB 00:05 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Installing : gnome-backgrounds-3.8.1-3.el7.noarch 1/2 Installing : xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 2/2 Verifying : gnome-backgrounds-3.8.1-3.el7.noarch 1/2 Verifying : xfdesktop-4.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 2/2 Installed: xfdesktop.x86_64 0:4.10.2-3.el7 Dependency Installed: gnome-backgrounds.noarch 0:3.8.1-3.el7 Complete!
Here is what I am seeing on a Centos 7 clean install, running this command: yum groupinstall xfce Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic

The package built on koji might not have been pushed to the mirrors probably.
