CentOS 7 And Xfce

I finally have got around to installing CentOS 7 and usually do a pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I
usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears to be a bug in the xfce package:

Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

It has been reported and I assume it will be corrected at some point, but was wondering if anyone has xfce running on CentOS 7 or any other alternatives to kde/gnome3.

Thanks.

    The corresponding file from Fedora 19 works. My guess is that any Fedora xfce desktop-backgrounds-basic file would work but I went with the one from Fedora 19.

  • According to the Bug tracker they updated and fixed the package, it wasn’t working last night but as soon as it synchs to the mirrors it should work now.

    Will test tonight and see what happens.
