Longer version of what has happened:

I had a more or less functional f15-Alpha test installation and ran "yum 
update". After rebooting, any attempt to log in through the GUI ended 
with a "Oh no!..." - ... should not have happened, but it's a test 
release, ... so not much reason to complain.


I decided to reinstall using netinstall.iso.

Initially (1st try), I tried a "customized package set". I was warned 
about a long series of missing deps. The install however proceeded and 
ended with anaconda raising before-mentioned error.

Then, (2nd try) I tried a "default package set" w/ *testing deactivate. 
I was warned about gnome-session missing dependency and ended up with 
"Oh no!

Then (3rd try) I tried a "default package set" w/ *testing activated.
I was warned about gnome-session missing dependencies. This time, I was 
able to login.
