A clean Fedora Workstation ships ffmpeg-free, and desktop-packages listed
ffmpeg (RPM Fusion). Those two conflict rather than add: dnf will not erase
the preinstalled ffmpeg-free to make room, so the WHOLE desktop transaction
failed to resolve and no desktop package installed. The codec section already
does the trade correctly -- `dnf swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg --allowerasing` --
so ffmpeg simply does not belong in the eager list. A machine that already
had ffmpeg (every one this repo was ever run on) sailed past this; the first
genuinely fresh Workstation install is what surfaced it.
Also: report_missing false-warned that awk was unavailable. rpm -q
--whatprovides matches a package's named provides, but awk is provided as the
file path /usr/bin/awk (by gawk), which that query misses. Fall back to
command -v so a capability provided by path is not reported as missing.
Found by a fresh-VM certification run, which is exactly the failure mode a
re-run on an already-configured machine cannot reproduce.
