Not sure I understand your query....

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ dnf whatprovides /usr/bin/liveusb-creator

2016. liveusb-creator-3.93.3-1.fc23.noarch : Fedora Media Writer
Repo        : @System

So, isn't liveusb-creator=Fedora Media Writer  ?

But it doesn't look anything like the old liveusb-creator,
and in my case it doesn't create a bootable USB stick.
Does it work for you?


Yes, it was rewritten. Now it uses only dd to write to a flash drive and it indeed is capable of restoring a flash drive containing Fedora to its factory settings. Using it to write other distributions is not a tested use case (at least as of now) - the iso you used probably has a different layout than Fedora iso's which could be the cause of it not detecting your drive for restoring.

I'm the guy responsible for the rewrite so please hit me with any issue or suggestion you have, either directly or through bugzilla or even the upstream github repo [1]
