Hey, > 1. Why does `dnf group remove lxqt` wants to remove everything on my system? > Most of it is not explicitely installed by me > https://paste.fedoraproject.org/291300/ That might be the reason. Dnf removes parts of the system that are marked as "installed only as a dependency" as soon as the packages depending on them are being removed. If you don't want this behavior, check out the config option called clean_requirements_on_remove. You can also take a look at the dnf mark command. > 2. How can I reinstall lxqt group? You first need to uninstall it. Groups are objects independent of the packages they contain. Check out the dnf group mark command. > 3. Is it a bug in dnf? Doesn't seem like it. > 4. Is there a reinstall option for group? See my previous comment about dnf group mark remove.

dnf group thinks a group is installed but its packages have already been removed
Hi, I had dnf group install lxqt. dnf group remove lxqt wanted to remove pretty much everything on my KDE box. I removed individual packages with lxqt-*. Now I can't install lxqt group because dnf thinks it is already installed although there no lxqt-* packages on my system anymore. I can't remove lxqt and reinstall because it will remove everything else along with it. 1. Why does `dnf group remove lxqt` wants to remove everything on my system? Most of it is not explicitely installed by me https://paste.fedoraproject.org/291300/ 2. How can I reinstall lxqt group? 3. Is it a bug in dnf? 4. Is there a reinstall option for group? $ sudo dnf group list Last metadata expiration check performed 0:53:42 ago on Tue Nov 17 08:06:22 2015.
