The "group" information comes from a "comps" file in the repository. The
format of this file has changed in FC5 and "groupreq"s are no longer
supported. So yum will only see package dependencies when you do a
groupinstall, rather than full group dependencies.
"yum grouplist" should still show you all the groups though.
