Comment 1 Frank Murphy 2012-02-06 15:04:27 UTC 
This may be caused by "system-config-users"

system-config-users-1.2.112-1.fc17.noarch

~]$ system-config-users

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2012-02-06 20:02:22 UTC 
Yes, since the 'advanced' button really just launches s-c-u.

We don't have a criterion that covers this - the only requirement for firstboot is that, at Alpha stage, it must be able to create a user account successfully (not an *advanced* user account, note). We probably intended to have stricter firstboot criteria at Beta or Final, I'll have to check the archives.

It seems I've been a bit overzealous when I cleaned up things. Anyway, the fix is in upstream git and builds for F-18 and F-17 now:

commit ed90569b087d82c6a298e6b32fc568dad9aa72f4
Author:     Nils Philippsen <nils>

    import constants directly, not via userGroupCheck (#787692)
    
    In a few instances, constant values imported into but not used in
    userGroupCheck were used in other modules, causing AttributeErrors when
    they were accessed.

Fixed in system-config-users-1.2.113-1.fc17/.fc18.
