Description of problem: I put the following in the packages section of kickstart: @^Fedora Workstation -gnome-initial-setup -gnome-boxes -evolution -rhythmbox -shotwell -cheese -empathy -devassistant-gui -gnome-abrt -gnome-weather -bijiben -gnome-clocks -gnome-contacts -totem -@printing -@libreoffice -@networkmanager-submodules kernel-devel nfs-utils NetworkManager-wifi # needed by vbox gcc python patch dkms SDL-devel libvpx-devel compat-libvpx1 When kickstart begins, the installer reports: "You have specified a package dkms should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package and continue with the installation?" If I say "YES", I get the same thing for patch and compat-libvpx1, but not for python. Then under "SOFTWARE SELECTION", it displays "Error checking software selection" and when I click for more details, it provides these errors: - nothing provides libX11-devel needed by SDL-devel-1.2.15-20.fc23.i686 - nothing provides libz.so.1 needed by gcc-5.4.1-2.fc23.i686 ... But I didn't request i686 installations.. So I removed "gcc", "patch", "dkms", SDL-devel", "libvpx-devel", "compat-libvpx1" and then "dnf install" them after the kickstart. It's fine. There are no dependency problems. But this is very puzzling and seems like a bug. Yesterday, with a different environment selected, it was saying that I couldn't add "gcc" either. Today, with "Fedora Workstation" selected, I can add it. There may be a subtle bug here. (PS: It doesn't seem possible to install an extremely minimal GNOME desktop, so I've installed "Fedora Workstation" and then started to take out some items...)
Please attach the logs from /tmp to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments.
It turns out that the problem was my own. It's the first time that I'm kickstarting Fedora, and it wasn't clear that with an install URL of the "Workstation" dir, this didn't include gcc/dkms/patch/etc. I had to add the "Everything" repo, then it worked. Sorry for any inconvenience. I'm used to the RHEL install where everything is in one folder.
