I finally thought to try "dnf remove mate-panel," copy the list of
deletions, and save to a file. THEN system-upgrade finally worked (doing
something mysterious to me to a couple of apps); I told dnf to install
the list I had saved, and all is well again. (I didn't think to try
simply commanding "dnf install mate-panel." If the same problem should
arise on my wife's similar machine, which I haven't yet upgraded, I will.)
