The function SubgroupsSolvableGroup with a trivial group with an argument does not return the list of normalizers when called with the option retnorm. I suggest considering this flag for trivial groups. I propose moving first the parsing of the retnorm flag and immediately checking the trivial case. Please check I have not destroyed the rest of the function!

Hi!

Thanks for the PR. Would you consider writing some tests for this function? It looks to me like there are currently no tests at all :(

Obviously within reason the more tests the better! But it's also fine to just put in some basic tests, and also some tests which cover the case you are changing. If you want some help writing tests please do ask, but as a quick suggestion, I'd look at some files in tst/opers, to get a feeling for what the tests should look like.

Fine, I will try to prepare some tests for this function during the next days with some examples, trivial cases, and different options. I remember some years ago I discovered a problem when applying this function to trivial groups, but I was not aware that with the retnorm option the output should also present the normalisers.

Yes, I never considered the case of the trivial group in these cases, this should fix it.

The function `SubgroupsSolvableGroup` with a trivial group as argument
did not return the list of normalizers when called with the option `retnorm`.

I tweaked the formatting and commit message and added a test case.
