Description Chris Ricker 2012-11-06 15:46:46 UTC 
I'm seeing silent failures installing individual packages specified as part of the %packages stanza

This is with network kickstarts against Fedora-18-TC7 (anaconda 18.24)

I have the following as my %packages stanza:

%packages --ignoremissing --nobase
@Core
coreutils
kbd
openssh-clients
binutils
ntp
ntpdate
puppet
bind-utils
wget
vim-enhanced
-sendmail
postfix
%end


anaconda.packaging.log confirms that anaconda should install the requested packages:

15:21:39,305 DEBUG packaging: select group core
15:21:39,601 DEBUG packaging: select package openssh-clients
15:21:39,602 DEBUG packaging: select package postfix
15:21:39,603 DEBUG packaging: select package ntpdate
15:21:39,603 DEBUG packaging: select package kbd
15:21:39,603 DEBUG packaging: select package coreutils
15:21:39,603 DEBUG packaging: select package bind-utils
15:21:39,616 DEBUG packaging: select package puppet
15:21:39,617 DEBUG packaging: select package ntp
15:21:39,617 DEBUG packaging: select package wget
15:21:39,618 DEBUG packaging: select package binutils
15:21:39,619 DEBUG packaging: select package vim-enhanced
15:21:39,632 DEBUG packaging: select group Core
15:21:39,639 DEBUG packaging: deselect package sendmail



Five of the requested packages do not show up in the transaction set and the system after install shows this, however:

[root@f18test1 ~]# rpm -q coreutils kbd openssh-clients binutils ntp ntpdate puppet bind-utils wget vim-enhanced sendmail postfix
coreutils-8.17-5.fc18.x86_64
kbd-1.15.3-6.fc18.x86_64
openssh-clients-6.1p1-1.fc18.x86_64
binutils-2.23.51.0.1-3.fc18.x86_64
package ntp is not installed
package ntpdate is not installed
package puppet is not installed
bind-utils-9.9.2-2.fc18.x86_64
wget-1.14-1.fc18.x86_64
package vim-enhanced is not installed
package sendmail is not installed
package postfix is not installed
[root@f18test1 ~]# 

The desired non-installed packages (ntp, ntpdate, puppet, vim-enhanced, postfix) install fine with a yum install at this point

The same 5 (and their dependencies) also install fine during install if done as part of the %post stanza via a

yum -y install ntp ntpdate puppet vim-enhanced postfix

Comment 6 Jesse Keating 2012-11-06 22:17:39 UTC 
I can't reproduce this.  Can you try using an official mirror instead of whatever you have locally?
Comment 7 Chris Ricker 2012-11-06 22:50:47 UTC 
This is from the Fedora-18-Beta-TC7-x86_64-DVD.iso imported into cobbler -- is there a more current ISO anywhere?
Comment 8 Jesse Keating 2012-11-06 23:01:32 UTC 
The DVD is a subset of the entire package collection.  Things like puppet may not actually be on the DVD.  Since you have --ignoremissing this is working as expected.
Comment 9 Jesse Keating 2012-11-06 23:10:11 UTC 
To get at the full repo, you can use the pub/fedora/linux/development/18/<arch>/os  path on the mirrors.

Thanks - I'm an idiot

That was the issue
