Hmm, when first building a test DVD based on the .ks file in the wiki I got a python backtrace too, updating everything to the latest rawhide versions (I was already on rawhide) solved this. Alternatively, did you consider that this might be cause by a partial synced mirror, thus one where the meta data and the actual packages are out of sync? Maybe a simple retry will make the problem go away? Regards, Hans

Hi All, Its no longer clear to me where the master copy of the .ks file is, so I'm just sending changes here. I think we need a VCS to hold the .ks file. As a result from the discussion about autodownloader games I would like to suggest the addition of the following games to the list (traditional, small): quake3 vavoom rott-shareware Also I've recently imported: londonlaw Last, if we are willing to take the 50Mb hit for kdelibs (we already have qt and arts due to some dep issues I'm working on resolving) these would be good to have too: taxipilot ksirk Also I just got freecol approved, I'll build it as soon as its CVS creation is done: freecol Last I would like to see bolzplatz2006 included (fun comic style 3d football game), can someone help reviewing it? : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=283721 Thanks & Regards, Hans

The delta is going to be on the order of maybe 50 megs. * The %post section will then just get inherited from the desktop config and not need replication of things like the avahi hack I thought this was fixed up in rawhide yum -- basically, you're hitting an error and in the error teardown path, there's a yum bug. But that should be fixed in yum 3.2.5-3 or later. Unless I didn't backport the full fix from yum.git. Anyway, kicked off an image with your config just to see what happens, but I have to catch the bus in ~ 15 minutes and I suspect it won't be done by then. I'll try to check on it when I get home, though. Jeremy
