I suppose what is confusing me is the mixture of terminology.
With F22 you have packages installed like "kf5-plasma" which the info describes as "KDE Frameworks 5 Tier 3..." and you have "kde-runtime" which is described as "Core runtime for KDE 4". So, some places I see 4 and some places I see 5.
Then, if I do "dnf group install KDE Plasma Workspaces" I would have expected one of two things to happen. Either it would tell me that I already had it installed or it would have offered to install additional packages that weren't included when F22 was initially installed as that is what happens with F21. I would not have expected a failure.
