If we need to raise issues upstream for dnf where do we raise them?
In the Fedora bugtracker
The instructions I found on the net for ensuring all the media
packages needed for vlc to play blu-rays may have been for dnf4, as
it was also using a method for identifying the group that in dnf5, in
my view, is broken. Groups have an ID and a Name, and in dnf4 you
could specify the group by name enclosed in double quotes, in dnf5 it
says the value specified in double quotes doesn't exist even though a
"group list" displays that name.
As I understand it you are expected to use the ID now and not the name.
Both the ID and the description are shown as you noticed.
For example
dnf group info editors

I've replied to some threads with silly questions, so if I can continue
the trend, given that I have used the group install facility in previous
versions of Fedora and dnf by using the Name and had that work as
specified in articles on the net, how are we supposed to know that in
F43 that functionality has to be done differently?
