Unfortunately, the environment that rawhide is built in has some ...
quirks[1] and thus it's tripping up some of the changes that have been
going on to make the scripts that build images a little bit better.
Hopefully we have the last of those out of the way now. :-/

But if you have a tree, running buildinstall from the anaconda-runtime
package should be working fine at this point.  And hopefully the next
step of making it easier for someone to build their own images will be
landing in the next day or three.

[1] Things like Packages/ being a symlink as opposed to a directory,
which means that our find didn't find the package it was looking for
since we weren't using find -L.  *sigh*
