No, groups are defined by their groupid, Livna always created searate
groups (they had a different ID) ... they just named them the same. This
caused problems on older yum's because on groupinstall yum would pick a
single match so the other group was basically unavailable.
Newer yum's find all groups that match, so there's no problem on
current Fedora 9 or newer.
Of course to be fair reinventing the groups concept in PK, poorly and
with no input from anyone else or ability for Livna to group anything,
also solves this problem.
