Hi, I cloned Bug 1076489 as I believe that fixing /distribution/reservesys is much easier then changing fundamentals of system. And I would like to see the fix as soon as possible. So please track this issue as potentially easy fix with possible prompt fix delivery in contrast to original one. I'm looking forward to see the /distribution/reservesys not 'poisoning' packages section of the kickstarts. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1076489 +++ Description of problem: Requires: of /distribution/reservesys breaks kickstart which do not have --ignoremissing defined. For example RHEL6 does not seem to know unifdef package (at least in standard repositories) thus installation stops asking what to do with this package. This is not just the issue of this test but /distribution/install do the same. However it's easy to live without /distribution/install while /distribution/reservesys is sometimes useful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.4-3 How reproducible: Create custom kickstart, define: %packages @base Add /distribution/reservesys Expected results: /distribution/reservesys does not block installation with custom kickstart. It installs the packages during test execution or uses "the other" requires directive (is it RhtsRequires:?)

Git history says it is there because: commit 067674894f0f419b1a2740c1df86b2db0dc806aa Author: Donald Zickus <dzickus> Date: Tue Mar 4 15:28:34 2008 +0000 allow kernel packages to compile easier which is not a very good reason at all.
