On both Fedora 44 (branched) and Rawhide currently, if you try to do a network install of KDE, the install process hangs during package scriptlets; it seems to get stuck during %triggerin of the ibus package. The GUI shows "Configuring gtk3.x86_64", but /tmp/dnf5.log shows the gtk3 scriptlet completed with return code 0, then shows 'start' for the ibus %triggerin , but that's the last entry - there's no 'stop' line for ibus. So it seems like we're stuck on ibus.

This has been happening on Fedora 44 since Fedora-44-20260206.n.3, but it only started happening on Rawhide with Fedora-Rawhide-20260210.n.0; the test uses default repos, so it was actually probably installing the package set from the previous compose, Fedora-Rawhide-20260209.n.0 , so that's most likely where the problem appeared in Rawhide. Though I can't see any obviously-related packages in the changelog.

Just installing @core plus ibus (via a kickstart) doesn't reproduce the problem, so some other packages have to be involved somehow.

I'll look into this more next week if nobody else can get to it.
