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:
In unattended installation if it cannot resolve dep it shows confusing error message and switches to interactive mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 21.48.22.93-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install package in unattended installation mode which has unresolved dep

Actual results:
[!] Software selection (Source changed - please verify)

Expected results:
Some better error message

Additional info:
We have trouble with this behavior in Beaker jobs. It was hard to debug for us what's the real problem behind and it blocked unattended machine provisioning.

kickstart file

It seems the problem is tuned-profiles-nfv package which requires qemu-kvm-tools-rhe which is not available.

Resolves log

Just a small note, this is not a non-interactive installation. To start non-interactive installation you need to set `cmdline` instead of `text` in a kickstart file, nevertheless you are right about the message.

The problem happens in "tui/spokes/software.py: checkSoftwareSelection()". We need to give user better message when exception DependencyError is raised. This exception is propagated to `status` property where it is processed as invalid transaction now.

Thank you for reporting this,
Jirka

We'll be addressing this in 7.4. Duping to the approved bug.
