Description Frank 2018-02-05 02:31:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to install an already installed program returns 0, while trying to remove a not present program returns 1. Doesn’t make any sense to me…


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.7.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. `dnf install dnf` ⇒ 0
2. `dnf install <not installed program>` ⇒ 1


Expected results:
Both commands should return 0. They output just states, that nothing has to be done – so why should that be an error?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.

I created a patch (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1269) that should unify behavior.
