Description of problem: ======================= dnf upgrade shows a conflict between mate-desktop-configs and systemd-oomd-defaults. It is possible to force the update using "--best --allowerasing", but this, in turn, also installs earlyoom (as a week dependency of mate-desktop). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= mate-desktop-configs 1.26.0-5.fc36 How reproducible: ================= It is reproducible on a clean install of Fedora Linux Mate edition. # LANG=C dnf -y upgrade Last metadata expiration check: 0:17:51 ago on Sun May 8 12:49:03 2022.

Not a bug. systemd-oomd breaks Mate-desktop. So we are using earlyoom, which was use before f34. Please read https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2078108 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2078108 ***
