Not sure, MATE is working just fine for me, versions range from 1.16.0
to 1.16.3
yum list |grep "mate" |grep -v "@epel" |grep -v "devel"
mate-menus-preferences-category-menu.x86_64
classmate.noarch 1.3.1-2.el7
epel
classmate-javadoc.noarch 1.3.1-2.el7
epel
f22-backgrounds-mate.noarch 21.91.0-1.el7
epel
mate-common.noarch 1.16.0-1.el7
epel
mate-netspeed.x86_64 1.12.0-1.el7
epel
mate-sensors-applet.x86_64 1.16.1-1.el7
epel
mate-themes-extras.noarch 3.14.7-1.el7
epel
php-league-climate.noarch 3.2.4-1.el7
epel
workrave-mate.x86_64 1.10.16-1.el7
epel
xmonad-mate.x86_64 0.11-12.el7 epel
Some of those obviously are not mate packages, but those are the only
mate packages I do NOT have installed and it is working, so if mate is
not working I wonder if the issue is something other than the packages.
