How Reproducible:

Consistently.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:

Popup with invitation to visit Bugzilla.

Helpful message about how 'Development' is not a known group.

Additional Information:

The relevant lines from the anaconda trace:

  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 209, in moveStep
    rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 107, in readPackages
    id.instClass.setGroupSelection(id.comps)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 905, in setGroupSelection

We are currently in a string and screen freeze but will revisit this for a
future release

Added a dialog informing you of the problem that lets you continue or abort. 
Also added --ignoremissing as an argument for %packages so that you can just
ignore them and not get prompted

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2003-05-25 14:51:30 UTC
I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified
for some period of time.  I believe that most of these issues have been fixed,
so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide.  If the bug you are seeing still exists,
please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
