Description of problem: While trying to install @xfce-desktop-environment in a system with Fedora 30, the following error is shown- Problem: package xfce4-session-4.14.0-1.fc30.x86_64 obsoletes xfce4-session-engines <= 4.13.1 provided by xfce4-session-engines-4.13.1-23.fc30.x86_64 - cannot install the best candidate for the job - conflicting requests It seems that dnf is somehow unaware of the fact that there is no package xfce4-session-engines in XFCE version 4.14 and that this package has been superseded by xfce4-session. Hence it throws the above mentioned error and instead tries to install xfce4-sesion-engines-4.13. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.14 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment 2. dnf install @xfce-desktop 3. dnf install @xfce Actual results: Installing xfce-session-engines-4.13 which is then needed to be manually upgraded to xfce-session-4.14. Expected results: It should install xfce-session-4.14 instead of xfce-session-engines-4.13. Additional info: None.
PR https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1503 solves the issue with installing group which contains both obsoleted and obsoleting packages. In this case it is xfce4-session-4.14.0-1.fc30.x86_64 package obsoleting xfce4-session-engines.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '30'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
