Description of problem: I ran into problems trying to install/verify the virtualization group. 1. "yum grouplist" does not show the Virtualization group available. 2. I see there is a "yum groups list" command, but it is also wrong: "yum groups list" output is same as grouplist. 3. "yum groups list hidden" shows Virtualization, but under the "Installed Groups" section which is wrong on my system... The following packages are still missing when I go to install the virtualization group: # yum groupinstall Virtualization Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks, refresh-packagekit Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package libvirt.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-driver-xen = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-driver-uml = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libvirt-daemon-config-network = 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 for package: libvirt-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 ---> Package qemu-kvm.x86_64 2:1.2.2-11.fc18 will be updated ---> Package qemu-kvm.x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: qemu-system-x86 = 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 for package: 2:qemu-kvm-1.2.2-13.fc18.x86_64 ---> Package virt-viewer.x86_64 0:0.5.4-3.fc18 will be installed --> Running transaction check ---> Package libvirt-daemon-config-network.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed ---> Package libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed ---> Package libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libxenlight.so.2.0()(64bit) for package: libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libxenctrl.so.4.2()(64bit) for package: libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-0.10.2.6-1.fc18.x86_64 ---> Package libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed ---> Package libvirt-daemon-driver-uml.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed ---> Package libvirt-daemon-driver-xen.x86_64 0:0.10.2.6-1.fc18 will be installed ---> Package qemu-system-x86.x86_64 2:1.2.2-11.fc18 will be updated ---> Package qemu-system-x86.x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: qemu-common = 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 for package: 2:qemu-system-x86-1.2.2-13.fc18.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package qemu-common.x86_64 2:1.2.2-11.fc18 will be updated ---> Package qemu-common.x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 will be an update ---> Package xen-libs.x86_64 0:4.2.2-7.fc18 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: xen-licenses for package: xen-libs-4.2.2-7.fc18.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package xen-licenses.x86_64 0:4.2.2-7.fc18 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ========================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ========================================================================================== Installing: libvirt x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 33 k virt-viewer x86_64 0.5.4-3.fc18 nysa-updates 204 k Updating: qemu-kvm x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 nysa-updates 37 k Installing for dependencies: libvirt-daemon-config-network x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 32 k libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 36 k libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 103 k libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 93 k libvirt-daemon-driver-uml x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 72 k libvirt-daemon-driver-xen x86_64 0.10.2.6-1.fc18 nysa-updates 114 k xen-libs x86_64 4.2.2-7.fc18 nysa-updates 415 k xen-licenses x86_64 4.2.2-7.fc18 nysa-updates 77 k Updating for dependencies: qemu-common x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 nysa-updates 210 k qemu-system-x86 x86_64 2:1.2.2-13.fc18 nysa-updates 4.2 M Transaction Summary ========================================================================================== Install 2 Packages (+8 Dependent packages) Upgrade 1 Package (+2 Dependent packages) Total download size: 5.6 M What or why is this "hidden" group?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Please move this to a Fedora 19 issue [root@nome ~]# rpm -q rpm yum fedora-release rpm-4.11.1-3.fc19.x86_64 yum-3.4.3-122.fc19.noarch fedora-release-19-5.noarch # documentation states that "group list" options are: installed, available, environment, language, packages, hidden, and ids but 'installed' & 'language' do not work without ALSO adding 'hidden' # only shows available group [root@nome ~]# yum group list # works as expected - but adding 'available' is not needed - see above [root@nome ~]# yum group list available # nothing? [root@nome ~]# yum group list installed Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Warning: no environments/groups match: installed # should not need 'hidden' - I'm root [root@nome ~]# yum group list installed hidden Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Installed groups: Virtualization Done # Is 'hidden' acting like RHEL6 yum-3.2.29 man page reads with "user visible" that I never saw any mortal output difference with - but it did show BOTH installed AND available WITHOUT 'hidden' [root@nome ~]# yum group install Virtualization Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit No packages in any requested group available to install or update # per yum-3.4 f19 man page - would this prove that all mandatory packages are installed to mark the group as "installed" ?
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
