RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Anaconda hits an exception when installing from a ks file.

the issue seems to be in users.py @ line 245 in setUserPassword
self.admin.setpassUser(user, cryptPasword(password, algo=algo), True)
And it's a typeError: argument 1 must be Entity, not None).

And both user and root password are definited in plaintext:
rootpw --plaintext 123456
user --name=test --password=123456 --plaintext


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
13.21.229

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install from a ks

Actual results:
Fails

Expected results:
Installs

Additional info:

Please attach (as individual, text/plain attachments) the anaconda-tb-* file in /tmp and the ks.cfg you are using.

tb file

The ks file is not important. This happens both when provisioning the latest rhel6 in beaker and when installing it locally from a different one. Both of which worked as expected before.

error: libgcc-4.4.7-11.el6.x86_64: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: BAD

Something is wrong with the repo you are using. We should probably catch this and do something other than let the installation try to continue.
