      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      • When starting with a minimal install machine, and installing gnome-kiosk, the installation goes through. But, gnome-kiosk installation doesn't check if Gnome is installed on the machine as a dependency.

      Either gnome-kiosk should not proceed with the installation 

      or

      gnome-kiosk installation should install Gnome as a part of its dependencies.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Creates confusion when the GUI doesn't work post gnome-kiosk installation.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      gnome-kiosk for RHEL 9.4

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Everytime.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. On a RHEL 9 minimal install build
      2. install gnome-kiosk
      3. Notice no Gnome packages are installed as dependency for GUI

      Expected results

      Either gnome-kiosk should not proceed with the installation 

      or

      gnome-kiosk installation should install Gnome as a part of its dependencies.

      Actual results

      gnome-kiosk installation goes through and GUI doesn't work as the core components of Gnome and Gnome in itself does not get installed with gnome-kiosk installation.
