dnf5 has different groups then dnf-4

[dschwoerer]

I tried to install gnome with dnf5 - but that fails:

fakeroot dnf5 group install "Fedora Workstation"
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Failed to resolve the transaction:
No match for argument: Fedora Workstation

It does however succeed with dnf-4:

Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:32 ago on Mon Jun 24 11:34:01 2024.
Dependencies resolved.
================================================================================
 Package                        Arch       Version            Repository   Size

I did not find anything related to why the group list is so much smaller in dnf-4 compared to dnf5.

This was done on fedora:40

Hi, the mentioned Fedora Workstation group is actually the Environment Group. These could be managed with dnf5 environment command or installed also with the common install command with dnf5 install @<group-id>.

Though I agree it's confusing as the subcommands of environment are not consistent with the group command. This is already reported and tracked here: #724.

Sorry, I did read the other issue, but failed to realise that dnf-4 list environments with groups.

This is indeed a duplicate of #724
