Description of problem: dnf has no "group management": - When you dnf group install a group, if it fails, dnf will still consider the group to be installed - Same if you uninstall a group, if you cancel the uninstall by replying no, it will still consider the group uninstalled Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): On Fed25-beta-10/13/2016, maybe also on earlier versions How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install @hawaii This group fails in my case for a missing dependancy [root@little lethalwp]# dnf install @hawaii Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'steam', disabling. Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'biji-vulkan', disabling. Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:44 ago on Thu Oct 13 10:28:04 2016. Error: nothing provides libQt5Xdg.so.1()(64bit) needed by hawaii-shell-0.8.0-2.fc25.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) 2. do it a second time: dnf install @hawaii Notice it's marked as "installed" [root@little lethalwp]# dnf install @hawaii Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'steam', disabling. Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'biji-vulkan', disabling. Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:51 ago on Thu Oct 13 10:28:04 2016. Group 'Hawaii' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! 3. remove the group, but say No: [root@little lethalwp]# dnf group remove Hawaii Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'steam', disabling. Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'biji-vulkan', disabling. Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:30 ago on Thu Oct 13 10:28:04 2016. Dependencies resolved. ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Group Packages ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== Marking packages as removed by the group: @Hawaii hawaii-system-preferences qt5-qdbusviewer qt5-qtbase-gui otter-browser xdg-user-dirs sddm-theme-hawaii hawaii-workspace mesa-dri-drivers sddm hawaii-shell qterminal-qt5 initial-setup-gui firewall-config hawaii-widget-styles qt5-qtwayland hawaii-icon-theme qt5-qtdeclarative pcmanfm-qt upower Is this ok [y/N]: n Operation aborted. 4. retry to remove the group: [root@little lethalwp]# dnf group remove Hawaii Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'biji-vulkan', disabling. Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'steam', disabling. Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:58 ago on Thu Oct 13 10:28:04 2016. Warning: Group 'Hawaii' is not installed. Error: No groups marked for removal. 3Bis: there's a second removal scenario that fails, because it's "Hawaii" group. maybe because of case sensitive&nonsentive? Redo 1&2, but instead of 3, do this: [root@little lethalwp]# dnf remove @hawaii Error: No packages marked for removal. If you then redo 1, you'll notice the group has been marked as removed, because it retries to install it. [root@little lethalwp]# dnf install @hawaii Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'biji-vulkan', disabling. Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'steam', disabling. Last metadata expiration check: 0:04:43 ago on Thu Oct 13 10:28:04 2016. Error: nothing provides libQt5Xdg.so.1 needed by hawaii-shell-0.8.0-2.fc25.i686 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages) Actual results: Bad group management, it doens't check if the operation succeeded or failed, it marks the group action at the beginning of the operation. Expected results: Only apply group action depending on the final result of the operation Additional info:
It's fixed in DNF 2.0 in rawhide.

Isn't this a regression? This doesn't appear to happen in F24.
