Ok, I just figured out how to file a bug.  There's too many different things that one needs to log into for this.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=959729

I'm not sure I did the right thing for the "Component" field.  I selected "ht", which is one of the two conflicting packages.  Perhaps this should be filed against something related to initial setup or something? Please let me know.

Well I should have thought to look in /tmp.  But that also seems like a design flaw:  why doesn't anaconda put the log files where people know to look for them?

In /tmp/packaging.log I see:
01:16:01,811 DEBUG packaging: Transaction couldn't start:
01:16:01,813 DEBUG packaging: file /usr/bin/ht conflicts between attempted installs of ht-2.0.18-4.fc19.x86_x64 and texlive-tex4ht-bin-2:svn26509.0-22.20130427_r30134.fc19.x86_64
01:16:01.813 ERR packaging:  YumRPMTransError Could not run transaction.

Multiple problems here:
1) The error message presented to the user completely sucks.  Showing "file /usr/bin/ht conflicts between attempted installs of ht-2.0.18-4.fc19.x86_x64 and texlive-tex4ht-bin-2:svn26509.0-22.20130427_r30134.fc19.x86_64" would not be helpful to most people, but is far better than "YumRPMTransError Could not run transaction".

2) The actual useful info is report as a DEBUG message in the log.  

3) Nothing is presented to the user to report the bug, which means that Fedora folks get no feedback as to how many people encounter this.

Having said that, this is _not_ a beta blocker.

I think it should be a release blocker, though.  The scenario for this was to select "GNOME Desktop", then select all of the additional packages for that environment.

Anaconda keeps its logs in /tmp, not in /var/log.
The syslog is not in /var/log/messages but instead is in /tmp/syslog.
