hi.
i want to install terminator in my vm.
since the terminator package does not install everything correctly (pycairo is not installed), i need to install pycairo manually.

but this does not work, since dnf somehow ties to install a different package...

$ sudo dnf install pycairo
Package qubes-template-minimal-stub-1.1-1.fc23.noarch is already installeDependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Sending application list and icons to dom0
Complete!

i tried this on two new clones of fedora 24 min, only installed sudo and updated all packages.
this seems very strange, since the package seems to be for f23.

strangely enough i can install pycairo-devel or anything else i tied after this.

executing `dnf list installed qubes-*` gives me (on fedora minimal):

qubes-utils-libs.x86_64 3.2.3-1.fc24 @qubes-builder-vm-r3.2-current-testing

qubes-template-minimal-stub is the only package for fedora 23

so my question is:
does someone else have this bug?
is there a problem with qubes-template-minimal-stub being a fc23 version? (maybe the version was simply not updated)
how can i install pycairo?

This is a known issue:

As described in the comments, the workaround is to specify a version
number, e.g.:

sudo dnf install pycairo-1.10*
