Description of problem:
While doing a graphical install of Fedora Rawhide (from March 7 am) I noticed
that I ended up installing 4929 out of 4927 (!) packages. One of the last couple
of packages was part of emacs.
I brought this up on the fedora test list and Seth Vidal said he thought he knew
what the problem was and asked me to file a bug verus anaconda.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The version in the packages was anaconda-11.4.0.48-1.i386, but I am not sure if
that was what was in the initrd.img (netinst.iso didn't work so I used grub to
boot from vmlinuz and initrd.imf from the isolinux directory).

How reproducible:
I only did it once.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The cound of packages installed was off by 2.

Expected results:
The packages actually installed matching the number announced as expected.


Additional info:

This is from an email message on the fedora test list:

okay - I know what that was and It is easy to fix. File this one in
anaconda - I think it is anaconda's transaction callback getting
confused due to the %posttrans call in the emacs package.
