Description of problem: I was attempting to do a Kickstart install. I had received many error messages regarding missing packages. From the looks of it, the repo lines in the Kickstart file were not getting used. In any event, I continued with the installation. I then received an error stating that @base didn't exist and shortly after that, this error occurred. The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 18.37.11 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 328, in getMessage msg = msg % self.args File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 464, in format record.message = record.getMessage() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 723, in format return fmt.format(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 791, in emit msg = self.format(record) + '\000' File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/anaconda_log.py", line 114, in emit SysLogHandler.emit(self, record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 748, in handle self.emit(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1308, in callHandlers hdlr.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1268, in handle self.callHandlers(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1258, in _log self.handle(record) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1184, in critical self._log(CRITICAL, msg, args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 3693, in selectGroup self.logger.critical(_('Group %s does have %u conditional packages, which may get installed.'), count_cond_test) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 1070, in _selectYumGroup self._yum.selectGroup(groupid, group_package_types=pkg_types) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 1198, in _applyYumSelections self._selectYumGroup(group.name, default=default, optional=optional) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 1229, in checkSoftwareSelection self._applyYumSelections() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 1316, in preInstall self.checkSoftwareSelection() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 124, in doInstall payload.preInstall(packages=packages, groups=payload.languageGroups(ksdata.lang.lang)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 91, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) TypeError: not enough arguments for format string Additional info: cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/ initrd=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img ks=http://home01.oleary.home/ks/base.ks BOOT_IMAGE=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 other involved packages: package: anaconda-18.37.11 product: Fedora release: Cannot get release name. type: libreport version: 18

Even after removing the offending package names and groups and disabling all the repo definitions in my Kickstart file, the same error occurs. Not sure what it triggering it at this point but it does seem like Kickstart might be partially broken in Fedora 18.
