Created attachment 1478030 [details] install_group.py Description of problem: When I install a group via the dnf API, it does not mark the group as installed but instead just installs the packages from the group. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-2.7.5-12.fc28.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the attached script install_group.py 2. Attempt to remove the group with the command 'dnf groupremove "Development Tools"' Actual results: $ cat /tmp/install_group.py #!/usr/bin/python3 import dnf base = dnf.Base() conf = base.conf conf.assumeyes = True conf.read() base.read_all_repos() base.fill_sack(load_system_repo='auto') base.read_comps() group = base.comps.group_by_pattern("Development Tools") base.group_install(group.id, dnf.const.GROUP_PACKAGE_TYPES) base.resolve(allow_erasing=True) print(base.transaction.install_set) $ /tmp/install_group.py {<hawkey.Package object id 13556, systemtap-3.3-1.fc28.x86_64, updates>, <hawkey.Package object id 13557, systemtap-client-3.3-1.fc28.x86_64, updates>, <hawkey.Package object id 28743, diffstat-1.61-6.fc28.x86_64, fedora>, <hawkey.Package object id 42632, libdwarf-20180129-4.fc28.x86_64, fedora>, <hawkey.Package object id 13561, systemtap-runtime-3.3-1.fc28.x86_64, updates>, <hawkey.Package object id 13559, systemtap-devel-3.3-1.fc28.x86_64, updates>, <hawkey.Package object id 29357, dyninst-9.3.2-11.fc28.x86_64, fedora>} $ dnf groupremove "Development Tools" Warning: Group 'Development Tools' is not installed. Error: No groups marked for removal. Expected results: The dnf API to actually mark the group as installed.
Sorry, I realized my reproducer code I posed is incomplete. Here's a functional version. (Results are the same) #!/usr/bin/python3 import dnf base = dnf.Base() conf = base.conf conf.assumeyes = True conf.read() base.read_all_repos() base.fill_sack(load_system_repo='auto') base.read_comps() group = base.comps.group_by_pattern("Development Tools") base.group_install(group.id, dnf.const.GROUP_PACKAGE_TYPES) base.resolve(allow_erasing=True) print(base.transaction.install_set) base.download_packages(base.transaction.install_set) base.do_transaction()
Adam, I've reproduced the issue on F28, but I've also verified it's fixed on F29+ because there's new DNF with reworked groups. Do you need this in F28 or are you ok with this being fixed in F29 and later?
Works fine on F29. Please reopen if you need it on F28 or any older release for any reason.
