These packages has different maintainers. According to the Fedora packaging guidelines, one package cannot introduce conflicts with another.This is intentional, regular dosbox is more-or-less (*) unmaintained upstream so we have decided to switch to dosbox-staging, also see the Package Review for dosbox staging: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1884608 As such dosbox-staging is intended as a replacement for the regular dosbox (and it is fully compatible with the regular dosbox). This was coordinated with the dosbox owner, but we have forgotten to actually retire dosbox, sorry about that. I'll retire dosbox in rawhide right away.
I think it is great that Fedora now has dosbox-staging and arrow keys work again. Many games were quite annoying to play without them. And there are other improvements as well.
But the complaint I have about this process is that, if you use the default dosbox-staging config, quite many games that actually ran with dosbox crash on dosbox-staging startup. That problem should be patched around somehow before dosbox can go. See Bugzilla discussion [1].
