[Pulp-list] package group explanation

[Salvatore Di nardo]

Actually i have to correct myself.. everything works just fine.
The issue i had was due the fact that those rpm's was not available in 
the repositories provided to the machine. ^_^''

Once the client had the rpms available then everything start working as 
expected:

            yum group install package-group-gpfs-client-4.1.0-8
            Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager

            Is this ok [y/d/N]:



Maybe future pulp releases could change the warning message from:

*    Warning: Group package-group-gpfs-client-4.1.0-8 does not have any 
packages to install.

*to something like:*
*
*    Warning: Group package-group-gpfs-client-4.1.0-8 cannot find some 
of the mandatory packages defined in the package group.
*
or something similar.
