[Bug]: `group_installed` from state module `pkg` doesn't work on fedora 41 and 42

What happened?

State pkg.group_installed returns An error was encountered while installing/updating group 'name_of_the_group': Group 'name_of_the_group' not found

Groups can be installed by executing command directly or using cmd.run.

As far as I can tell this happens with all groups.

Last time I've witnessed this state working was on fedora 40. It doesn't work on fedora 41 and 42.

Salt is installed as part of Qubes OS.

Start by reproducing the failure with the pkg.group_installed state on Fedora 41 or 42, then compare it with installing the same group through cmd.run. Trace the state module's group-installation path and verify that the state succeeds for groups that can be installed directly, without the reported “Group not found” error.
