Description of problem: When attempting to have the anaconda Software Selection spoke display an "Add-on" for an environment selected by default (checked in the GUI), we ran into an issue where dnf/libcomps doesn't appear to return the right value for such a group. anaconda is using the base dnf class to see if groups are set to default. In a test compose, we have the headless-management group defined as: <group> <id>headless-management</id> <name>Headless Management</name> <description> Tools for managing the system without an attached graphical console. </description> <default>true</default> <uservisible>true</uservisible> <packagelist> <packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-bridge</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-system</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">cockpit-ws</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">openssh-server</packagereq> </packagelist> </group> The group is also listed in the <optionlist> section of the environment. When looking at the GUI, the headless management add-on is not selected, even though it should be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dnf-4.0.9.2-4.el8.noarch libcomps-0.1.8-13.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start an installation via anaconda, point it at a repo that has an addon with <default>true</default> defined 2. Go to the Software Spoke 3. Actual results: add-on not selected by default Expected results: add-on selected by default Additional info: I've copied Martin Kolman from the anaconda team, who can help with how the anaconda code flow works as needed. I also tried specifying <default>True</default> in case it was a case-sensitive issue, but it appears the compose tooling changed it back to "true" in the output comps.xml file.
