I had this problem yesterday and spent some time trying to find out what
was wrong. I lodged a bug in buzilla with as much detail I could find.
The bug appears to be in "kickstart.py" in the function
setPackageSelection. My guess at a solution would be to change
"setPackageSelection" in class KickStartBase, approximately line 840 of
kickstart.py to look something like:
# Note that this assumes setGroupSelection() is called after
# setPackageSelection()
def setPackageSelection(self, hdlist):
for pkg in hdlist.keys():
hdlist[pkg].setState((0, 0))
for n in self.packageList:
try:
hdlist[n].select()
except KeyError:
log("Package %s requested in ks.cfg not found in the list of
available packages",n)
Note, this hasn't been tested any more than the fact that I just typed it
in to my email client. Use at your own risk. If it summons demons from
beyond space time, they're your problem not mine :) I'm sure someone at
Redhat could perhaps propose a better solution?
I'm still getting to grips with kickstart and anaconda, so forgive me if
I've missed something rather important here.
