Hi Ash,
See Richard's last reply. He mentioned the two meta packages you need.

I thought a lot about running CentOS for the slow update cycle, but as I'm also using my media PC for other things (Kodi, btrfs filesystems, kvm) I found all the packages were just too old.
So my system is Fedora. I will have to upgrade every year, so I made an identical VM on my workstation to test with.
