That package (system-config-packages) is very much worthless ... it can
only be used if you install from an ISO ... use only that ISO ... and
never do any updates.
Basically, don't ever use it :)
Also, unless you don't do updates, don't install from the CDs. Always
create a local mirror (or use an external mirror) to do updates. As new
packages are added (by updates) the dependencies for packages change and
newer ones will be required.
You should most likely use either yum or up2date to install new
packages.
