Description of problem: installer will not properly fetch and use the "Group" information from the comps.xml file in the Extras-development repo when adding the repo and doing a "customize now" sequence. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.2.0.49-1 yum-3.1.6-1 How reproducible: very consisten here - always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot rawhid boot.iso 2. add extras-development repository 3. Actual results: installer complains via a dialog box that it could not find the group data for the repository and that it won't allow you to select any extras packages during the customize now sequence. Expected results: It should fetch and read the comps.xml file and let the user select extras packages. Additional info: I realize that the merger is pending and this may become moot, but the symptom is more general. FTP (and http) access to other repositories should properly fetch and read the comps.xml information. I'm using FTP to a vsftp server on an FC6 local mirror. I have carefully examined the logs (extract attached) for the transactions, and there is no attempt to fetch the comps.xml file in the logs.
Created attachment 152760 [details] vsftp log extract showing no attempt to fetch comps.xml
I have verified that http method also fails to fetch the comps.xml file.
There seems to be something up with multiple repositories in general in anaconda right now. On my whiteboard as one of the things I'm hoping to fix today... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 231543 ***
