Description of problem: Kickstart installation of everything package set fails if any package is specified after line with "-@conflicts". Installation fails because of file conflicts. For example, this one fails: %packages * -@conflicts kernel This is working: %packages * kernel -@conflicts tail -n 20 /tmp/anaconda.log 11:57:51 DEBUG : Member: java-1.6.0-openjdk-src.x86_64 1-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5 - u 11:57:51 DEBUG : Adding Package 1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-src-1.6.0.0-1.7.b09.el5.x86_64 in mode u 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/bin/ecpg conflicts between attempted installs of postgresql84-devel-8.4.2-5.el5.i386 and postgresql-devel-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/bin/ecpg conflicts between attempted installs of postgresql84-devel-8.4.2-5.el5.i386 and postgresql-devel-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/bin/pg_config conflicts between attempted installs of postgresql84-devel-8.4.2-5.el5.i386 and postgresql-devel-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/bin/pg_config conflicts between attempted installs of postgresql84-devel-8.4.2-5.el5.i386 and postgresql-devel-8.1.18-2.el5_4.1.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /lib/security/pam_winbind.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /lib/security/pam_winbind.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/bin/ntlm_auth conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/bin/ntlm_auth conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/bin/wbinfo conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/bin/wbinfo conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/lib/samba/idmap/ad.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/lib/samba/idmap/ad.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/lib/samba/idmap/rid.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/lib/samba/idmap/rid.so conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : file conflicts: file /usr/sbin/winbindd conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 11:58:16 ERROR : error running transaction: file /usr/sbin/winbindd conflicts between attempted installs of samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386 and samba3x-winbind-3.3.8-0.51.el5.i386 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.5, tested with x86_64 arch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start kickstart installation with %package section: %packages * -@conflicts kernel Actual results: Anaconda fails because of file conflicts. Expected results: Anaconda installs all packages without error.
Jan, was this test with a satellite server or plain http/nfs/ftp repository? Does the comps.xml in the repository contain the conflicts group?
It looks like bug #577334 may turn to be a duplicate of this one after all. The ks.cfg used there also specified additional packages after the -@conflicts line.
