I've done a clean install of Qubes 3.2 on the host now, and then re-downloaded qubes-template-fedora-24-minimal and set up my custom template based on it. I still see the same issue with ImageMagick being skipped for installation. If I try to install ImageMagick in the unmodified fedora-24-minimal template, dnf offers to download the 'real' packages. But after using dnf to update all packages, the problem is introduced. The smallest package set I've found to reproduce this is just dnf, ie. dnf update dnf will trigger the behaviour. But I'm not really sure where to look next. Any suggestions? Thanks again. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
