Created attachment 676121 [details] anaconda.packaging.log Description of problem: During expression install, anaconda complains about groups graphical-internet, sound-and-video, and base not being found and if I'd like to continue. Resulting installation lacks various utilities and internet applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-18-Final-RC4-x86_64-DVD.iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Boxes 2. It finds the ISO in ~/Downloads automatically, click on that. 3. Express Install on, no password (defaults), click continue, click create. Actual results: Anaconda self-configures and launches, fairly soon complains about not being able to find certain groups and asks if the user wants to continue. Groups aren't installed, features missing, like tar, Firefox, etc. Expected results: Not to receive such errors, and for the proper groups to be installed. Additional info: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReworkPackageGroups http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html 2.2.3. Changed package group names For those doing kickstart installs, many package group names have changed in Fedora 18. In particular, the Base group has been renamed to Standard. In order to install this group, it must be explicitly specified in the kickstart file.

This has been fixed in Boxes 3.7 through libosinfo months ago and I thought I fixed this in 3.6 as well but seems I didn't. I'll look into this..

While I fixed the base in git master and I'll make 3.6.3 release and package it early next week, I don't see why graphical-internet and sound-and-video are failing. They are not mentioned in release notes you pointed to and I've been able to do successull express installs against F18 beta ISO by just dropping @base from list.
Could you please check for me if just dropping @base line from /usr/share/gnome-boxes/unattended/fedora.ks helps?
It does not. I no longer get the message group 'base' does not exist; but I still get the message that groups 'graphical-internet' and 'sound-and-video' should be installed but do not exist. And I still end up with a system that lacks tools like tar; which is fixable post-install by running yum group install standard. I think the ks needs to explicitly ask for group standard if I'm not mistaken.

Since dropping of these groups is not documented, I'd say this is more a bug in Fedora itself, especially since they were there in beta. BTW, where did you get the ISO from, I only see the beta ISOs on website. > And I still end up with a system that > lacks tools like tar; which is fixable post-install by running yum group > install standard.

If not, well I don't see how I can fix this without breaking support for Fedora 17 and 16.
NM what I said in comment#5. I got the DVD from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/18-RC4/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ with which i can reproduce the issue. Also I think I have a simple solution.
I have uploaded a fix on upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689221 . Will push it after review and include it in the next 3.6 release (early next week).
