Description Jay Dobies 2012-02-13 20:24:47 UTC 
I already have a package group with ID "test-group-1" when I run the following command:

[jdob@pulp1 ~]$ pulp-admin packagegroup create --id test-group-1 --repoid pulp-f16 -n "Test Group 1" -d "Test Group 1 Description"
Unable to create package group [test-group-1] in repository [pulp-f16]

That information should be very simple to derive (it'll be a 409 status code from the server) and the error message should indicate why it was unable to create the group.
Comment 1 Jay Dobies 2012-02-13 21:23:24 UTC 
This isn't just for duplicate group IDs. The same error is displayed for an invalid repo ID:

[jdob@pulp1 ~]$ pulp-admin packagegroup create --repoid foo --id bar --name baz
Unable to create package group [bar] in repository [foo]



By comparison, export, in the same packagegroup section, correctly identifies the issue:

[jdob@pulp1 ~]$ pulp-admin packagegroup export --repoid foo
error:  Error:PulpException: No Repo with id: foo found

pulp no longer has the ability to create groups.
