The complaint seems to be about the redhat-release package. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grab rawhide july 29th release 2. try to install it 3.

The rawhide installer is never guaranteed to work. In any case, the particular problem (rawhide comps looking for redhat release instead of rawhide-release) should be fixed in the next tree.
