It was a program for controlling Canon cameras that has been retired. Some group you have installed has that package listed in it.
Ah, this likely explains why neither "dnf repoquery" nor "dnf group list" could find "multican".
The comps groups need to be cleaned out and that's just a warning.
Well, ... IMHO, most about comps and groups is in an embarrassing unusable shape.
No match for group package "baekmuk-ttf-batang-fonts"
[snip]
No match for group package "util-linux-user"
I got these ones , is something on my rpm db ?
I am seeing these on another machine, too.
I expect you would see that on all machines.
No. Well, sort of. As mentioned, those are packages that have been removed from the distro, but are still listed in the comps groups. dnf checks the installed groups for packages that need to be updated and can't find these ones.
Really? How do I check for which groups I have installed?
At least I haven't found any way to check for them, neither with rpm nor with dnf.
dnf group list --installed

My actual problem seems to be not being able to get rid of the "installed groups".
"dnf group remove <group>" apparently uninstalls all packages from this <group>.
This is not what I want. I want to remove the comps-groups from my system, because of the harmful effects they obviously have.
