upstream dnf's API doesn't properly mark groups as installed, therefore upon
removal the module is unable to detect that the group is installed
U(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1620324).
- While O(use_backend=yum) and the ability to call the action plugin as
M(ansible.builtin.yum) are provided for syntax compatibility, the YUM
backend was removed in ansible-core 2.17 because the required libraries are
not available for any supported version of Python. If you rely on this
functionality, use an older version of Ansible.

- python3-dnf
- for the autoremove option you need dnf >= 2.0.1"
