Description Amar Huchchanavar 2020-01-13 19:34:39 UTC
Created attachment 1651986 [details]
Anaconda Error

Description of problem:
 
'Don't install @Base package group':   [check] appends '%packages  --nobase' to the KS profile which has been depreciated.

And if we 'Don't install @Base package group':   [uncheck]'  it appends @ Base to the package group which can not be modified. Even we try to remove that entry from 'Package Group' it reappears.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 5.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create RHEL8.1 KS profile on Satellite 5.8
[Issue 1]
2. UI -> Systems -> kickstart ->  select the profile -> Software -> Don't install @Base package group: [check]

Installation fails with "The --nobase option was removed in version F22"
[Attaching PNG]
[Issue 2]
3.UI -> Systems -> kickstart ->  select the profile -> Software -> Don't install @Base package group: [uncheck]  

Appends to the '@ Base'  which defeats the purpose of minimal/core install.


Actual results:
 "The --nobase option was removed in version F22"

Expected results:
There should be an option to do @core/minal RHEL8 installation through Satellite 5.8

Comment 5 Radovan Drazny 2020-02-11 13:00:23 UTC
Reproduced on spacewalk-java-2.5.14-133.el6sat.noarch using the reproducer from the initial report. After upgrading to spacewalk-java-2.5.14-136.el6sat.noarch, I was able to deploy RHEL8 without the @Base group. The "--nobase" option is no longer appended to the %packages section of the kickstart file. 

Please note that when checking the "Don't install @Base package group" option, the "@ Base" is removed from the text field with a list of packages to install. Unchecking the "Don't install @Base package group" at the later time will not bring the @ Base group to the text field, unless there is another custom package listed already. User always can add the @ Base manually to the list, when the "Don't install..." option is not checked and the "@ Base" string is not added automatically.
