Folks I have encountered a situation with YUM that isn't what I expected.
Let's suppose I want to install a group, call it G. My first question would be -- is the group already installed. Realize all of this is scripted. So, I use yum groupinfo and I see the list of installed groups, and those not yet installed. If group G is in the list of installed groups, one would think that there's no point in issuing a "groupinstall". But, to my surprise, a group can be listed as "installed", only to find that a groupinstall will actually do a lot of installs. So, I had to adapt my script to perform a "groupinfo G", parse the modules, and individually test them to see if they need installation. I do not understand this behavior -- group G is shown as "installed", but it really isn't.
