Description Boyd 2017-06-25 08:33:47 UTC 
Description of problem:  livecd-creator seems to no longer find repositories in F26.  Outputs error:  

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora', disabling.
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates', disabling.
Error creating Live CD : Failed to find group 'core' : no such group


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  livecd-tools-24.4.1


How reproducible:  Try to create any spin with livecd-creator


Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/
2. sudo livecd-creator -c fedora-live-workstation.ks -f Fedora-Workstation
3.

Actual results:
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/partition.py:330: UserWarning: A partition with the mountpoint / has already been defined.
  warnings.warn(_("A partition with the mountpoint %s has already been defined.") % pd.mountpoint)
['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '-F', '-L', '_iso/Fedora-Workstation', '-m', '1', '-b', '4096', '/dev/loop0']
Skipping (/sys/fs/selinux,/sys/fs/selinux) because source doesn't exist.
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora', disabling.
Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates', disabling.
Error creating Live CD : Failed to find group 'core' : no such group



Expected results:  livecd-creator will create livecd


Additional info: livemedi-creator does the same.
Comment 1 Corey Sheldon 2017-06-25 23:36:33 UTC 
This is with packaged fedora-kickstarts for $arch.fc26 ? or the git repo, moved into /usr/share/spin-kickstarts?
Comment 2 Boyd 2017-06-26 15:46:49 UTC 
This is with the fedora packaged kickstarts.  None of them work.  Seems to not find the repos, but otherwise dnf is OK.
Comment 3 Neal Gompa 2017-06-30 21:38:16 UTC 
This is actually a DNF bug, see bug 1464843.

The fix is in upstream DNF: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/commit/197e13802200523200f779db5a55eb8d3bd3e425

Please separately request this to be backported to DNF in F26 stable.
