[Yum] yum grouplist

[Bob Kashani]

I just came across something:

[medieval at chaucer ~]$ yum grouplist
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories
Error: Caching enabled but no local cache
of //var/cache/yum/base/comps.xml from base

It seems that if you run yum as a non-root user then yum runs from cache
and hence it cannot grab the comps.xml file. That's fine since it needs
access to write to /var/cache/yum, but shouldn't there be an error
message stating that you need to be root like there is when you try to
update/install/remove?

Also, I noticed that there is no mention of the 'hidden' option to
'list' in the man page.
