Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-03-10 06:49:27 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 32-beta by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 This kind of affects :
The installer must be able to use all available kickstart delivery methods. 
This bug will fail many of automation tests

Comment 2 Jiri Konecny 2020-03-10 09:47:38 UTC
Could you please provide us installation logs? You can find them in /tmp/*.log.

Comment 6 Vendula Poncova 2020-03-10 11:53:03 UTC
From packaging.log:

06:23:46,124 DBG packaging: install_specs(): some packages, groups or modules  are missing or broken:
Problems in request:
missing packages: sg3_utils, python3-avocado
missing groups or modules: @c-development, @development-tools
06:23:46,125 INF packaging: ignoring missing package/group/module specs due to --ignoremissing flag in kickstart

It looks like these packages and groups are not part of Fedora Server DVD, so Anaconda ignores them due to the --ignoremissing flag.
