Hi, I recently installed the fedora-24-minimal template per [1] and configured 
all my AppVMs to use a new template based on it. All seems to be working well, 
except that I am unable to install the following packages:

- ImageMagick
- pycairo

Both are skipped as follows:

~$ sudo dnf install ImageMagick pycairo
...
Package qubes-template-minimal-stub-1.1-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, 
skipping.
Package pycairo-1.10.0-4.fc24.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Package qubes-template-minimal-stub-1.1-1.fc23.noarch is already installed, 
skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Sending application list and icons to dom0
Complete!
~$

[2] seems to suggest it should be possible to install these packages, but I 
also saw a thread [3] that indicates that Fedora 24 may not be supported on 
Qubes R3.1, and maybe this could be causing the issue. The 
qubes-template-minimal-stub rpm is the only fc23 package that is installed in 
the template.

I am planning to reinstall the host with R3.2 at some point anyway, but I 
wanted to get Thunderbird and Firefox updated to the newer versions in F24 
sooner than that, hence installing the newer template first.

The missing packages are not a big deal, but it would be great to confirm the 
correct process for next time (looking forward to Qubes 4.0!) Is it supported 
to update to a newer Fedora template and then upgrade the Qubes release on the 
host, or should the host always be reinstalled/upgraded to the new version 
first?

Thanks very much for your advice.

Michael
