@Iain,

Thanks for the heads-up!

That error happens because EPEL 10 packages are pulling in dependencies from EPEL9, which don’t exist on AlmaLinux 10 (like libxklavier.so.16 and xset).

To fix this, make sure you’re using the correct EPEL repo for AlmaLinux 10 (epel-next or the proper EPEL for EL10), then retry the install.

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
sudo dnf install -y epel-release epel-next-release
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf groupinstall "Xfce" "base-x" --nobest

Once the right repo is enabled, the conflicting requests should go away.

$  dnf groupinstall "Xfce" "base-x" --nobest

Hey Amit, the EPEL repo has already been added in Step 1.
