On RHEL (and derivatives) the installation of the common-utils feature
could fail if the feature ran before (i.e., `PACKAGES_ALREADY_INSTALLED`
is set) and if either `INSTALL_ZSH` is false, or zsh was installed
earlier and `ZSH_ALREADY_INSTALLED` is true.
In these cases the script the `package_list` is empty, and `dnf`
terminates with the following error message:
```

```
Fix the problem by running `dnf` only with a non-zero `package_list`.
