Description of problem: If no profile is specified and if a module has a default profile, the default will be installed, otherwise the error is shown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest boltron compose 07-17 dnf-2.6.0-3.git.40.c0f7fc6.module_a7788b02.noarch Actual results: bash-4.4# dnf module install installer >> Error: No such profile: default. Possible profiles: [] bash-4.4# dnf module install base-runtime >> Error: No such profile: default. Possible profiles: ['buildroot', 'container', 'srpm-buildroot'] Those are not good examples, but I'm aware only of these modules with no default profile. Also please see https://github.com/fedora-modularity/base-runtime/issues/3#issuecomment-317777577
Right now low priority, will be improved in future.
