#454 dnf5 doesn't show the GNOME and Fedora Workstation package groups

Reopen Issue

When doing dnf group list, the GNOME and Fedora Workstation package groups are not there. When doing dnf4 group list the groups appear and can be interacted with (group install / group remove) as expected.

Sounds like a bug that needs to be filed against dnf?

Looks like dnf5 just doesn't support environment groups.

My suggestion is to report a bug to either dnf or to fedora-comps.

I believe with DNF5 you need to either use the --hidden argument with dnf group or use dnf environment list

dnf group does not have a --hidden argument, but dnf environment list works. I see the workstation-product-environment group is both installed and also not installed:

$ dnf environment list

Clearly dnf is buggy, but the environment group still exists. I think this is not a problem for Workstation Working Group. Closing.
