smart query --group for group names with spaces

Asked by pete99

I'm running smart version 1.3.1 on fedora 14, with only the default fedora config options set, and pointing to my local fedora repo mirro.

yum sees groups with <name> = Base, Core, Applications, Development, GNOME Desktop Environment

So far I can only get smart to see some, but not all, of the groups where <name> has a single word.
Eg: Base, Applications, Development, but not Core, Clustering

I definitely need smart to see the group with <name> = GNOME Desktop Environment, so I can use smart 1.3.1 to list the packages in that group and then I will automate the use of smart to list the packages to a list, and use smart to install the packages in the list (since smart install ^groupname is not yet available)

I would like smart to see all groups really, but I'm prepared to focus on the group GNOME Desktop Environment for now.

I've tried the following syntax:

bash# smart query --group="base" <--- lists many packages
bash# smart query --group="applications" <--- lists many packages
bash# smart query --group="development" <--- lists many packages

...but no output for any of the following queries:

bash# smart query --group="gnome-desktop" <--- correct <id> for this group
bash# smart query --group=gnome-desktop
bash# smart query --group="GNOME Desktop Environment" <--- correct <name> for this group
bash# smart query --group="gnome-desktop-environment"
bash# smart query --group=gnome-desktop-environment
bash# smart query --group="gnomedesktopenvironment"
bash# smart query --group=gnomedesktopenvironment

Any suggestions re how to get smart 1.3.1 to list the packages in the yum group "GNOME Desktop Environment" would be most helpful.
