Well thanks for your time and the information. I have never really looked into the workings of the RPM system much. I've been having this issue since I installed Fedora 25 on a new machine, fresh install. Here's my dnf run with a few attempts at troubleshooting on my end. It's been exactly the same since the machine was set up.
[root@fedge ~]# dnf install geany-plugins-* Last metadata expiration check: 1:36:46 ago on Wed Dec 14 06:17:33 2016. Error: package geany-plugins-lipsum-1.29-1.fc25.x86_64 obsoletes geany- plugins-geanylipsum <= 1.28 provided by geany-plugins-geanylipsum-1.28- 1.fc25.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) [root@fedge ~]# dnf --allowerasing install geany-plugins-* Last metadata expiration check: 1:37:15 ago on Wed Dec 14 06:17:33 2016.
