Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The command `yum group list ids` will sometimes give no output even though there are "hidden" groups.
It sees unreasonable to expect all users to know they must also search for hidden groups.
Combined with that fact that the data is inconsistent between different repos makes it hard to find groups.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
Test commands on both a Server and a Workstation to see the differences.
1. ~]# yum group list ids kde\*
2. ~]# yum group info KDE
3.
Actual results:
Testing on a 7.1 server;
Nothing here:
[root@localhost ~]# yum group list ids kde\*
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
There is no installed groups file.
Maybe run: yum groups mark convert (see man yum)
Warning: no environments/groups match: ids, kde*
But this works:
[root@localhost ~]# yum group info KDE
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Group: KDE
Group-Id: kde-desktop
{and works with lower case kde too}
But does not mention @kde
[root@localhost ~]# yum grouplist
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Available environment groups:
Minimal Install
Infrastructure Server
File and Print Server
Basic Web Server
Virtualization Host
Server with GUI
Installed groups:
Security Tools
System Administration Tools
Available Groups:
Compatibility Libraries
Console Internet Tools
Development Tools
Graphical Administration Tools
Legacy UNIX Compatibility
RT
SAP
Scientific Support
System Management
Done
#Testing on same 7.1 server VM:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q yum
yum-3.4.3-124.el7.noarch
[root@localhost ~]# yum group list ids kde\*
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Warning: no environments/groups match: ids, kde*
[root@localhost ~]# yum group list hidden ids | grep -i kde
KDE (kde-desktop)
[root@localhost ~]# yum group list hidden ids kde\*
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager
Available Groups:
KDE (kde-desktop)
Done
These work on the server:
yum group install KDE
yum install @KDE
yum install @kde-desktop
Expected results:
If possible, if yum did not show any groups then show hidden groups. If not possible, print note to say there might be hidden groups and explain how to check for them.
