Does anaconda.log already exist? What do the permissions on /tmp and /tmp/anaconda.log look like (if it exists). Was there anything different you did for this install?
This bug can probably be safely closed. I did the install from an USB whith enabled overlay and I tried this install several times, was updating the image with yum upgrade and so on. I still have a byte copy of the drive from the time when it was broken, but I don't think I'll have the parience to mess around it more. The live system was completely broken. On my second try then, anaconda worked, but crashed when it tried to open password databaze (to check the strength of root password), after that, anaconda refused to run completely with yet different error. (I reported that, but my bug got closed with comment that "anaconda is not supposed to be stared from command line", which is complete misunderstanding of my bugreport, I was running it from menu in GNOME 3 first, I resulted to the command line only after to see what is it writing on the std out) But anyway, I think there is nothing to fix. I managed to do the install by creating a new live USB without overlays and separate /home and installing right away, without updates. So it is now all OK.
Thanks. FYI, running yum update on a live USB isn't recommended.
> running yum update on a live USB isn't recommended I know, that is why I am closing this bug. But I think that should be advertised more. Like some message in yum when live user tries to update, note in wiki... I did not find anything discouraging me from doing that.
