Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-04-04 15:40:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
$ dnf group summary
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:48 ago on Mon Apr  4 11:34:01 2016.
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/dnf/groups.json'

$ ls -l /var/lib/dnf/groups.json
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1753 Jul 16  2015 /var/lib/dnf/groups.json

After running 'sudo dnf group summary', running it again as a normal user succeeds. So the failure is transient.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-1.1.7-2.fc23.noarch
Comment 1 Michael Mráka 2016-04-05 08:01:08 UTC 
By chance are there any selinux denials in audit log?
Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-04-05 12:59:08 UTC 
No, afaict (I can see the log entry for sudo, and nothing before that for ~30 min).

BTW, I'm running in enforcing mode, selinux-policy-targeted, Fedora defaults.

Feel free to close this for now, if it happens again I'll try to gather more information.
