remove module output

Description of problem:

1) Well, with no working --help, I have no idea how to remove/uninstall a module.
Tried
- dnf module remove httpd
- dnf module uninstall httpd
- dnf module delete httpd

2) Ok, for example it's not implemented yet. But the shown output with help, is not helpful at all.

3) I also tried dnf remove [package from @fedora-modularity repo] It hanged the whole system.

See it all in the attachment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest boltron compose 07-17
dnf-2.6.0-3.git.40.c0f7fc6.module_a7788b02.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Package httpd available, but not installed.
No match for argument: httpd
Error: No packages marked for upgrade.

Ops, correction: 

>> 4) dnf module update httpd says there is nothing to update. I expect "Module httpd available, but not installed."

Comment 4 Irina Gulina 2017-10-02 08:07:58 UTC
Addition: `dnf module remove sssd` asks for confirmation to remove, but it is not the case for httpd. Then it looks like sssd module was removed, but it's listed by `dnf module list --installed`

Comment 5 Martin Hatina 2017-10-03 11:15:05 UTC
For httpd there is no profile installed so there is nothing to remove. 

I fixed the 'module list --installed' command to not show modules that are not installed.

I will add warning that the profile is not installed if you want to remove it and it is really not installed.

Comment 6 Martin Hatina 2017-10-04 13:21:40 UTC
Fixed by https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/939

Comment 7 Jaroslav Mracek 2018-06-28 08:06:46 UTC
The issue is solved by dnf-3.0.1-1 that was released into rawhide.
