Installing MATE desktop environment on Fedora 25
(1) sudo dnf install @mate-desktop-environemnt
After installing Cinnamon, among the default Gnome3, the transaction fails at:
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz from install of vim-common-2:8.0.586-1.fc25.x86_64 conflicts with file from package vim-minimal-2:7.4.1989-2.fc25.x86_64
Error Summary
-------------
This appears to be a long standing bug, not realted to MATE desktop environment install but rather with the conflict between vim-minimal and the update which can be seen here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1329015
Solution, running:
[root@system76-f25 ~]# dnf update -v --debugsolver vim-minimal -y
Updated vim and then MATE installed successfully.
Lesson - always update before install new software.
