Are all of the groups missing? Hopefully the issue I reported back in
January [1] with Spacewalk 2.4 only serving the uncompressed groups file
but dnf expecting a compressed one has been fixed, but I have not yet
had a chance to upgrade to Spacewalk 2.5 so I can't confirm that myself.

As mentioned in my email, I've been able to work around it by using a
pre-nochroot script to modify the dnf code to request an uncompressed
groups file. You might want to give that a shot if the symptom is the same.
