PulpExecutionException: Importer indicated a failed response
Pulp 3 uses libcomps to generate a comps.xml file and it doesn't generate empty XML elements.
Pulp 2 expects packagelist
to be always present, even if empty.
It also seems to be a mandatory however it is according to the unofficial spec.

Configure createrepo_c to always generate
packagelist
element within a package group.Pulp 2 relies on the packagelist element being present, even if it's empty. It also seems to be a mandatory element according to this unofficial spec https://pagure.io/rpm-metadata/blob/master/f/fedora/comps-schema/comps.dtd#_6
Before this fix, the packagelist element would only be generated if there is at least one package in a group.
