Description Sandro Bonazzola 2016-08-18 12:48:29 UTC

Description of problem:
If one package to be added to the image contains Rich/Boolean dependencies livecd-creator fails.
example:
with: 
  Requires:       (yum-plugin-versionlock if yum)
it fails with:
  Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: Invalid version flag: if

Note that I needed to hack the python code to import the missing yum.Error to see the actual error.

What version of things are you using? rpm? yum? livecd-tools? Heck, I'm not even sure yum supports Boolean deps.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2016-08-23 17:34:25 UTC

I asked around, yum does not support the Rich Booleans. It's likely it never will since Fedora has moved to dnf.

Your best course of action is to start using livemedia-creator for building live images.

Thanks, I'll try to move to livemedia-creator
