leads to a crash in anaconda:

AttributeError: 'RPMOSTreePayload' object has no attribute 'get_source_proxy'

Had a quick look at the source and I think this is due to change introduce in https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/1f341cb27e77f6383a45ee19b8110ea43929ee87
Comment 3 Martin Kolman 2020-07-29 20:42:32 UTC 
So basically what happens here is that the OSTree payload object Anaconda uses during an OSTree installation does not have an attribute (a proxy for a DBus object) most of the other payloads have. This case was not addressed, so the code tried to access an attribute that does not exist and crashed.

Should be fixed by the following PR, which fixes the code to survive the missing attribute:
