Transaction Summary
========================================================================================================================================================================
Install  10 Packages
Additional info:

The optional packages are not installed as can be easily verified with:
3. dnf install $(dnf group info virtualization | sed '1,/Optional Packages:/d')
which does show the packages require installation.
