Description of problem: I installed f24 workstation with gnome as desktop environment. Then I wanted to install lxqt as an additional group by sudo dnf group install lxqt This fails: sudo dnf group install lxqt Last metadata expiration check: 0:12:52 ago on Thu Jun 16 07:28:59 2016. Group 'LXQt' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. I'm sure that I never installed the lxqt group. Then I checked dnf for installed environment group: dnf group list ... Installed environment groups: KDE Plasma Workspaces Xfce Desktop LXDE Desktop LXQt Desktop MATE Desktop ... I never installed one of these groups, I'm sure. So I tried "dnf group info lxqt", and a lot of packages are reported: dnf group info lxqt Last metadata expiration check: 0:32:12 ago on Thu Jun 16 07:12:21 2016. Group: LXQt Description: LXQt is a lightweight X11 desktop environment designed for computers with low hardware specifications like netbooks, mobile devices or older computers. Mandatory Packages: ark breeze-cursor-theme breeze-gtk breeze-icon-theme fedora-icon-theme firewall-config initial-setup-gui kwin lxqt-about lxqt-common lxqt-config lxqt-globalkeys lxqt-notificationd lxqt-openssh-askpass lxqt-panel lxqt-policykit lxqt-powermanagement lxqt-qtplugin lxqt-runner lxqt-session network-manager-applet nm-connection-editor notification-daemon obconf openbox pcmanfm-qt perl-File-MimeInfo qterminal-qt5 qupzilla sddm sddm-breeze upower xdg-user-dirs But the command rpm -q $(dnf groupinfo lxqt|tail -n +6) reports almost all of the packages listed above as not installed, so why this discrepancy? I tried already "dnf clean all", but this did't help. Additionally, all other environment groups listed above are not installed, so why are they listed as installed environment groups? Also after dnf clean all"? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-1.1.9-2.fc24.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.sudo dnf groupinstall lxqt 2. 3. Actual results: Last metadata expiration check: 0:28:45 ago on Thu Jun 16 07:28:59 2016. Group 'LXQt' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Expected results: Installation of group lxqt Additional info:
I could solve the problem by sudo dnf group mark remove lxqt sudo dnf group install lxqt
The group marking was refactored and the fix is under review. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1318852 ***
