Description Adam Williamson 2026-04-21 00:18:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Try and install Fedora 44 using a kickstart that specifies a non-existent package. This should trigger a warning message you can click through; instead it causes a crash.

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-44.30


The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 44.30 exception report

If I had to guess, I'd guess that https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/6398 broke this. CCing the author.

Comment 18 Adam Williamson 2026-04-21 00:41:13 UTC
Also broken in F43, works in F42. That timeframe fits my guess.
