Description of problem: installation doesn't work because of error checking software dependencies Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-Server-netinst-ppc64-24_Alpha-1.3.iso How reproducible: 1. setup a guest with kimchi and boot the Fedora-Server-netinst-ppc64-24_Alpha-1.3.iso 2. change the Default Fedora mirror list URL to: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64 Actual results: the anaconda shows "error checking software dependencies" cat /tmp/packaging.log .. 11:58:53,400 INFO packaging: added repo: 'anaconda' - http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64 11:59:23,754 INFO packaging: Refreshing environmentAddons 12:25:36,288 INFO packaging: checking software selection 12:25:39,228 INFO packaging: selected group: core 12:25:40,041 INFO packaging: selected env: server-product-environment 12:25:40,046 INFO packaging: kernel: selected kernel 12:25:40,077 INFO packaging: Installing langpacks-en 12:25:40,088 WARN packaging: package sos-3.2-3.fc24.noarch requires libxml2-python3, but none of the providers can be installed. package rolekit-0.5.1-1.fc24.noarch requires /usr/bin/python3, but none of the providers can be installed. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64. package fpaste-0.3.8.1-2.fc24.noarch requires python3, but none of the providers can be installed. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64. package dnf-1.1.6-2.fc24.noarch requires python3-dnf = 1.1.6-2.fc24, but none of the providers can be installed. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-dmidecode-3.12.2-3.fc24.ppc64. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64. package dnf-langpacks-0.15.1-4.fc24.noarch requires python3-dnf-langpacks = 0.15.1-4.fc24, but none of the providers can be installed. nothing provides libpython3.5m.so.1.0()(64bit) needed by python3-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64. package fedora-release-server-24-0.16.noarch requires rolekit, but none of the providers can be installed. package dnf-yum-1.1.6-2.fc24.noarch requires dnf = 1.1.6-2.fc24, but none of the providers can be installed ... Expected results: the mirror list is used for installation. The installation completes and the new system initiates boot properly.
Looks like the ppc repo is busted.
(In reply to David Shea from comment #1) > Looks like the ppc repo is busted. yep, known issue
and maybe related to the system-python split out of the regular python3 package
This problem is still present on f24 RC1. It is triggered by ppc64 netisnt install (see also bug 1346832) Also if you choose "closest mirrors" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel. Also if you set "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64" and you set "This URL refers to a mirror list" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel. Also if you set "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64" and you set "This URL refers to a mirror list" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel. Note that for all these cases there are unappropriate proposal environments (looks like primary environments) in "Base environment" of anaconda "Software selection" panel.

I guess I see it, the repo is really broken. If you look into http://mirrors.nic.cz/fedora-secondary/development/24/Everything/ppc64/os/Packages/p/ you will see python3-libs-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64p7.rpm but not python3-libs-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64.rpm, python3 rpm itself has both ppc64 and ppc64p7
I would try to set the repo URL in anaconda to http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/24/Server/ppc64/os/ directly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
