Description:

When I list explicitly installed packages using --explicit, but want to include output on pertinent groups using --groups, the latter appears to take precedence, such that some of the listed packages have not explicitly installed.

According to the man page, -g without any parameters lists all grouped packages. It would be useful if an additionally specified -e switch would still be respected.

Additional info:
* Pacman v4.1.2
* libalpm v8.0.2

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -Qe -g|cut -d" " -f2|xargs pacman -Qi|grep "Installed as a dependency"
This task depends upon
