Seth, We are starting to work on our release based on RedHat 9. So we have started to test the new yum(the 1.95 version). One of the new features that I really like are the "group" commands. So I did a "yum grouplist" and yum died with a traceback. I did a "yum -d 4 grouplist" with most of the "not needed stuff removed". So it looks like it did not do well without a yumgroups.xml file. I copied my comps.xml file over as RedHat/RPMS/yumgroups.xml and that fixed the first try at a yumgroups.xml file, but it tried to find one for each repository. I doubt that this is really needed. I modified my yum.conf to take out some of the repositories so that I could get past this error and did a "yum grouplist" and it worked great. I then did a "yum groupinstall "Openafs client" and it work great too. I do have one question though. Is the "group" name case sensitive?
