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 Additional info:
Fixed in upstream spacewalk git by commit a0ec173cabcd7de5efa923c7f3609d63cc6aa2ee 1790638 - --nobase option was removed in version F22
Backported to SATELLITE-5.8 as commit db87e079d3fe1c3f7bee64d0749bd736fd8a0afb 1790638 - --nobase option was removed in version F22
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. VERIFIED
