Description Petr Spacek 2015-03-06 21:38:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
It is not possible to use dnf groupinstall with --exclude parameter to prevent installation of unwanted packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf-0.6.4-1.fc21.noarch

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf groupinstall -x ModemManager "LXQt Desktop"

Actual results:
Error: package ModemManager-1.4.0-1.fc21.i686 is not installable

Expected results:
Packages from group "LXQt Desktop" are installed, except excluded packages, their dependencies, and potentially packages which depend on the excluded package.

Optionally: It would be nice if DNF printed list of all excluded packages. E.g. excluding ModemManager package would exclude ModemManager-glib (as its dependency) and print both packages in the list.

Smaller example is e.g.
$ dnf groupinstall -x NetworkManager-wifi LXQt
