Thanks to whomever hinted "groupinstall". It's working great.

This option is NOT listed in the man page. Sigh.

I responded to your post. And the key isn't "groupinstall". You could have typed "group install" The key was "with-optional" and that is in the man page.

dnf [options] group install [with-optional] <group-spec>... Mark the specified group installed and install packages it con‐ tains. Also include optional packages of the group if with-optional is specified.

It just so happens that "all" the packages in the "editors" group are tagged "optional".

FWIW, I'll file a bug report for this. I wonder what else is missing...

Not needed.
