Description of problem: Consider the following kickstart section: %packages @base-x @workstation-product -firefox %end Firefox should not be installed on the system. This works with the default yum backend, with the dnf backend however, firefox is installed on the system. How reproducible: Create a kickstart file with the following packages section: %packages @base-x @workstation-product -firefox %end Install one time with the default yum backend and a second time with the dnf backend. Actual results: On the system installed using dnf firefox is present, on the system installed with yum, it's not, as desired. Expected results: The dnf backend should behave like yum and respect the deselection.
For the record I don't believe this ever actually worked properly. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1234545
