This results in the following output: http://pastebin.com/LpG0MKSc
This is a little inconsistent, but it's still clear what's going on
IMO. What do you think, is this acceptable?
So pasting the output here:
---start paste---
base-devel package not found, searching for group...
:: group base-devel:
Members (2): flex-2.5.35-4 make-3.82-2
:: Install whole content from group testing/base-devel? [Y/n]

This is actually clearer than it used to be now that it includes the
repo name in the query. From memory, it used to ask if you wanted to
install all packages from base-devel twice in situations like this.
I still wonder if it is possible to just have one query for this? I
seem to remember investigating that in the past and deciding it was
beyond me but maybe with the new group code...
Found out yesterday evening that clyde handles new callback values
rather ungracefully. It aborts when it encounters unknown callback
enum values (see
http://github.com/Kiwi/clyde/blob/master//lualpm.c#L2032). It does
the same for all callback enums, pmtransevt, pmloglevel, ...
I opened an issue on their github site about it. This sucks, but I
think it's a bad decision by the clyde developers and should be
changed by them.
I agree that is a clyde problem and not something we should worry about.
