Hello Everyone,

Can someone help me figure out why I can run sudo dnf group info "Development Tools" and it shows the packages grouped inside, but when I go to install it fails with error message: No match for argument: Development Tools

I’m using sudo dnf group install "Development Tools" to install, but it fails.

I got it to work using: sudo dnf group install "development-tools"

Which is the ID. I have always used the name and it would work. Must be something new with DNF5.

Wow, that was posted back in July. Certainly explains why using the name would not work. Thanks for responding.

I assume you run a toolbox and this is purely a dnf5 issue?

Yes. I was in a Toolbox I created “fedora-develop-41”

Thank for this! Much appreciated. I was going a little bonkers not being able to do the usual.
