Description of problem: Buildinstall leaves packages out of the pkgfile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-runtime-11.0.5-1 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run buildinstall against original, un-updated, FC5 RPMS. buildinstall --comp dist-$release.$date \ --pkgorder $FCBASE/pkgfile.$date --version $release \ --product 'Fedora Core' --release "Fedora Core $release" \ --prodpath Fedora $FCBASE/$arch 2. 3. Actual results: Count the number of RPMS included in the pkgfile.$date. Only 1749 of the 2185 packages are included. Expected results: All 2185 packages should be in the pkgfile. Additional info: build script and anaconda.log attached. Note the build script completes without error, but the CD's which are produced fail when attempting to install the bootloader.
Created attachment 136122 [details] build script followed by buildinstall output & anaconda.log.
It looks like it is actually the pkgorder python script that fails to include all RPM packages.
I tried it on an x86_64 machine, and it worked. For some reason it does not work on DELL PRECISION 380.
I have seen this problem and can reproduce it by running pkgorder by hand. For some reason, in my environment, if I run as root, it misses 10% of the packages or so (the exact same packages every time). If I run it as my regular user, it works correctly. This is true whether I use `su` or `su -`. I looked at `env` and LANG and such were the same. Adding PATH:/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime, one of the only significant differences in the `env` had no affect. I have 8,526 packages that I'm working with, so my environment is different... The same problem is described in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2006-December/msg00015.html
