Description Stewart Adam 2007-01-16 00:02:56 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm not sure, but I think this problem is more easily reproduced when one repo
or more doesn't maintain a comps.xml, the Group view shows little or no
packages. Sometimes, a group will contain packages but have an empty name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yumex-1.2.2-1.0.fc6

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use various mixes of repos
2. Look at the Group View
  
Actual results:
See Description

Expected results:
Groups with no name go under 'Unknown' or 'Other', and packages are correctly
populated into each group.

Comment 1 Tim Lauridsen 2007-03-21 13:23:37 UTC
This is caused by some repos (Like Livna) dont use name tags in comps xml,
because they want to use the same name an description as the comps.xml in core.
I have submit a fix to yum upstream cvs (3.1.x), it will be included in
yum-3.1.5 for FC7.
