Expected results
Status of the group should ideally say something like the group is installed or the group should fail with the status " Mandatory packages not available "
Installed Packages:
httpd
Failed Packages :
ncdu <-------
pacakge3 <-----
Actual results
There a two more packages in the group marked as mandatory and they are not installed the group itself is marked as installed. This is not correct in my opinion, because there are two mandatory packages from the group are still missing. So the status of the group is wrong.
