From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050729 Fedora/1.1-0.2.5.deerpark.alpha2 Firefox/1.0+ Description of problem: I installed system-config-kickstart through yum, then I tried to launch it through the menu. Nothing seemed to happen so I tried with the console and got the following error: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/comps/i386/comps.xml" Could not start because there is no /usr/share/comps/i386/comps.xml file. Please make sure the comps package is installed. After installing the comps package (yum install comps) all is fine. So I guess system-config-kickstart should require comps? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Additional info:
I think the bigger question here is why the comps package was not installed. Do you remember what sort of install you did?
I am not 100% sure but I think I did a pxe boot followed by an ftp install of FC4
You should grab the comps rpm from one of the Fedora mirrors (it should have a name similar to comps-4-0.20050606.i386.rpm) and install it onto your machine. I don't know why it wouldn't have been installed to begin with. For the future, we have eliminated the comps RPM as part of the ongoing package selection work, so s-c-kickstart will have to change how it lists packages. I am closing this bug as WORKSFORME only because I cannot get the comps package to be missing. If you still experience problems even after installing that package, feel free to reopen.
