anaconda.log

Description of problem:
Anaconda tries to fire off a Gtk program while in text mode on the second request to the user for a "package does not exist yes/no" answer. The installer appears to try to fire up tui-based widgets but explodes with tracebacks.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
19 development - 2013-05-30


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart that answers all install questions and lists more than 1 package that does not exist in any repo.
2. Start a text mode install
3. Answer "yes" to the first text query about missing packages

Actual results:
Console reports that X is not running and is needed by Gtk. Then a pile of tracebacks about progressbars, simpleline, hubs and other tui functions from python.

Expected results:
Either a graceful switch to a tui/curses interface in text mode or a second/third/fourth text-only yes/no question.
