Description Gorkhaan 2017-05-17 08:52:44 UTC
Description of problem:
CentOS is using @base package group, where Fedora renamed this to @standard
On Spacewalk 2.6 WebUI when I click "Don't install @Base package group:" it will set the '--nobase' option which is unknown to Fedora 25 Anaconda/Kickstart and it will die with "Pane is dead" error.
I do not see the point of '--nobase' when you can just not list '@base' group and be done with it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Fedora 25 Kickstart config
2. Try to enable '@core' and '@standard' without the '@base' package group
3. Fedora 25 kickstart dies with "Pane is dead" error

Actual results:
"Pane is dead" error when Fedora 25 kickstart fails

Expected results:
Spacewalk will allow me to fully control Softwares and Package groups so I can specify my @groups and packages without Spacewalk's "help"
