As Stephen Smoogen already noted, the DVD as well as the net install
pull in packages as defined in the comps files as he noted.
If the net install includes the file but the DVD not, then the cause
is most likely a dependency issue. DVD and NET installation handle
dependencies differently. Net installation includes all types of
dependencies, but DVD installation does not. If I remember correctly,
weak dependencies are not taken into account.
See https://pagure.io/fedora-server/issue/32
In this case the dependency is
dynamically generated at runtime - if
Blivet find the right NVME hardware on the target system, it will
request the nvme-cli package to be installed. For this to work, the
nvme-cli package needs to be present on the DVD image repos. So to
fully solve this issue, I think we will have to somehow hardwire the
package to be included in the DVD repos, as regular "static"
dependencies are not directly in play here.
It is best to ask Stephen Gallagher of Server WG. He also solved a
similar problem with Cockpit previously at the time in minutes,
without causing collateral damage (as others did, unfortunately).
I'll put him into CC.
