dnf group thinks a group is installed but its packages have already been removed

[Sudhir Khanger <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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?
