Description of problem: v7 requires rpms not found in RHEL6: Rechecking required rpms The following rpms are required for testing: qemu-kvm-tools system-config-display Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): v7 1.1 R23 RHEL 6 beta 1
This persists in v7 1.2-3. The tool still asks for system-config-display to be installed, but it doesn't exist. By the way, why are these dependencies not called out in the RPM itself? I install using a yum repo for the v7 package, but I'm still left with missing dependencies when I complete the install. This is the exact reason people use @everything installs when they try to cert RHEL.

Still in 1.2-5, too.
system-config-display is only required for the video test, which may not apply to some systems. Similarly, virtualization testing is not applicable to all systems. So v7 now defers some rpm installation to follow test planning, so as not to require (via rpm spec) rpms on systems where they're not applicable. Note that you can answer "n" to the second prompt, and continue testing. I suspect the video test may fail. Is there some other impact of this bug that I'm missing?
split off qemu-kvm-tools to bz #602914

Created attachment 436338 [details] video test patch for testing without X config files on RHEL6 This patch changes the video test for RHEL6 to work without the generation of a config file. This means that system-config-display will not be needed. The test adds some plan-time-required rpms to insure that X and startx are installed.
