 This only happens if we have installed groups though, seems kind of
unlikely for a user to hit this. I'd thought about having a config.
option so people can turn off the 'Upgrade the installed groups' in
"yum upgrade". It might also be worth wrapping that in a block that
catches GroupsError, for those weird edge cases (should probably print
some message though) ... but just removing this raise off seems bad
(would need to put code everywhere so that "yum group install foo" still
prints a message like this, and not a misleading one).
