I am trying to install the KDE Plasma Workspaces on a fresh installation of Fedora 23 via the Live image and it keeps throwing up dependencies for xorg-x11-drv packages that do not exist. I have a couple F23 installs laying around here and they aren't installed on any of them, nor are they up in the public repository ( http://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/23/Everythi...). And what is even odder, is that everything I try to run 'dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces" it comes back with another xorg-x11-drv package it says it can't find, and neither can i. Here is what it is doing:
[root@lri-106830 temp]# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
Last metadata expiration check: 2:47:12 ago on Wed May 25 08:17:24 2016.

And the following are the only ones installed and also in the repository:

Hi,
you can use "--setopt=strict=False" or "-x xorg-x11-drv" and file a ticket to relengs in the meantime.

OK, setting that opt will allow the install to proceed. Thanks....
However, having not done it before, I don't understand "file a ticket to relengs". Hint please.

Or use bugzilla.redhat.com , "comps" component
In particular, I believe you should get the same error if you try:
dnf install @base-x

This worked, but its a bandaid at best ... someone needs to fix something because this *used* to work with no issues, so its my guess that in preparation for F24 someone broke something along the way.
