lorax purges libgssapi_krb5 during compose: share/runtime-cleanup.tmpl:removefrom krb5-libs /etc/* /${libdir}/libgssrpc* /usr/${libdir}/* but anaconda needs it. So, in F18 Alpha TC1, if you work around https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847644 , anaconda fails to start up, with this traceback: File "/sbin/anaconda", line 34, in <module> from tempfile import mkstemp <snip> ImportError: libgssapi_krb5.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory jesse notes: <jlk> bcl: we make use of hashlib, by way of mkstemp -> tempfile -> random -> hashlib (which is basically what the traceback says). This obviously blocks F18 Alpha, as it's an anaconda showstopper. Invalidates pretty much every release criterion. :)

Discussed at 2012-08-16 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-08-16/f18-alpha-blocker-review-3.2012-08-16-16.00.html . Accepted as a blocker per criterion "The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary architectures, with all system firmware types that are common on those architectures, from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media when written to an optical disc and when written to a USB stick with at least one of the officially supported methods" . We're confident lorax 18.13 fixed this, but an update needs to go stable before we close the bug.
lorax-18.14-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
