(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

I think your dnf.conf file is missing the below line under main stanza. 
"optional_metadata_types=filelists" 

dnf-data rpm's post install  script is supposed to add that.

> rpm -q --scripts dnf-data
.....
......
    /usr/bin/grep "optional_metadata_types\=filelists" $dnf_conf > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]
    then
        /usr/bin/perl -i -pe "BEGIN{undef $/;} s/^clean_requirements_on_remove=True$/clean_requirements_on_remove=True\noptional_metadata_types\=filelists/dgm" $dnf_conf
    fi 
fi

you're right...line is missing from our template...thank you!
