Can you please elaborate on why do you think that "kernel" shouldn't be listed there? Are you sure that all of your kernels were installed as a dependency?

This is expected. As you can see in man pages, the output is intended to be used in Kickstart files. Since the documentation of Kickstart files [1] does not mention that the packages can be specified in the form of "name.arch", this change can break the use case. Would you like to have a switch that appends the architectures?


Any reason for the "urgent" priority and "severity"?

otherwise it should have NEVRA, not just N.

oh, I wanted to set normal, sorry ;)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Where was the decision to back away from "This is expected. As you can see in man pages, the output is intended to be used in Kickstart files.

made? 

Seems really, really silly to have NEVRA output from userinstalled when it's meant to produce portable output that you can use to get a known set of packages leaves installed...

Now I have to pipe it though some awk script or something...
