Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Expected results:
marking group installed succeeding

Additional info:
- system language is Finnish (maybe related to unicode error? we have lots of ä & ö)
- everything was up to date prior installing group
- trying to rerun group install after failing to mark it installed produces the exact same errors
- cleaning dnf caches doesn't help
Comment 1 Otso Rajala 2015-06-06 13:22:28 UTC 
Just noticed after running dnf groups list -v that despite errors kde-desktop-environment is marked as installed: 

Installed environment groups:
   Fedora Workstation (workstation-product-environment)
   KDE Plasma -työtilat (kde-desktop-environment)
   LXQt Desktop (lxqt-desktop-environment)
