Comment 2 Marian Csontos 2011-06-08 13:48:31 UTC

As Dan pointed out, there is also missing dependency, python-simplejson, which is caused by LabController disabling fedora repos in the kickstart:

> # Install new harness
> yum -y --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=beaker-* install beah

Bill, could we change the Fedora kickstart to contain the workaround as well as remove the '--disablerepo=* ...' part when installing harness?

This is not working on stage.
Patch pushed to gerrit.

Comment 6 Marian Csontos 2011-09-13 10:55:45 UTC

The problem is not 100% reproducible and the patch is incorrect - it just happened to work after applying the patch.

Still not sure why the non-determinism. Bill, shall we close as WORKSFORME?

Comment 7 Dan Callaghan 2011-10-06 06:19:30 UTC

Sorry, this bug was incorrectly closed with the 0.7.3 release.

Comment 8 Dan Callaghan 2012-08-14 04:04:34 UTC

I'm fairly sure this is no longer an issue. Our kickstart templates are different now, although the same piece of code for disabling rhts_compat lives on (more or less). But our OS major version names are always consistent now, so I think it is working correctly.
