    I have been having the problem of yum not listing groups when asked.
So I added the above to /etc/yum.conf and deleted yum's history file.
But yum still won't list any groups. This is on a fresh updated 19
installation.

I did a yum clean all, then rm /var/cache/yum/* then rm /var/lib/yum/*, and added the line to yum.conf and I now get a listing. But I did not try to install anything yet.
