Description of problem: For Server x86_64 there are several packages listed in comps.xml which are not available, nor is a provides with that name available. Anaconda silently ignores them during installation (as seen in yum.log): No package named netxen-firmware available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-mailx available to be installed No package named openssl-ibmca available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-sosreport available to be installed These can lead to either problems with obsoleted packages (these comps entries have likely not been removed when the packages were obsoleted) and upgrades or cause you grouplist to not display groups as installed because these packages are missing.
Server s390x is worse because it has listed some x86_64 packages as well: No package named grub available to be installed No package named netxen-firmware available to be installed No package named efibootmgr available to be installed No package named xorg-x11-drv-ati-firmware available to be installed No package named setserial available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-mailx available to be installed No package named acpid available to be installed No package named biosdevname available to be installed No package named microcode_ctl available to be installed No package named cpuspeed available to be installed No package named fprintd-pam available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-sosreport available to be installed No package named eject available to be installed No package named irqbalance available to be installed No package named pcmciautils available to be installed No package named usbutils available to be installed Server ppc64 is a bit better: No package named grub available to be installed No package named netxen-firmware available to be installed No package named efibootmgr available to be installed No package named iwl3945-firmware available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-mailx available to be installed No package named acpid available to be installed No package named biosdevname available to be installed No package named microcode_ctl available to be installed No package named openssl-ibmca available to be installed No package named abrt-plugin-sosreport available to be installed
