I should have also asked...why are you sticking to F25? It goes end-of- life in about 6 months. You should have upgraded to at least F26.
It will be a lot less than 6 months if history is any guide. N-2 usually goes EOL about a month after N is released.
From https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-25-end-life/
With the recent release of Fedora 27, Fedora 25 officially enters End Of Life (EOL) status on December 12th, 2017. After December 12th, all packages in the Fedora 25 repositories no longer receive security, bugfix, or enhancement updates. Furthermore, no new packages will be added to the Fedora 25 collection.
Yes, I know N - 2 goes EOL a month after the release of the new version. I was just suggesting gently that the OP, since he was building a new system, should have gone with at least F26. But there are things that people run that are dependent on older libraries and such and I get that, but they probably should run a longer-lived distro such as CentOS instead of our favorite, bleeding-edge and (at times) frustrating Fedora.
OK. But you did write "It goes end-of-life in about 6 months", which is factually incorrect and that is all POC and I were addressing.
