[Yum] 'yum groupinstall <foo>' does not install packages [SOLVED]

[David Kewley]

Hey all,

Seth just now pinged me on this; I haven't read the yum list recently so I 
missed this discussion. :)  As I just told Seth, I'll see if I can work on it 
tomorrow, but it's a bit more likely next week considering how many balls I 
have in the air at the moment.

By all means feel free to ping me on my personal email address if I don't 
respond within a week. :)

David
