#210 Sometimes packages don't add even if they are in the packages list, eg dhclient
Closed: Fixed Opened by ghell.

It seems the only way you can add certain packages, for example dhclient, to a spin is via the GUI. Even if the package is in the package list of the ks file. The only way I can add dhclient, for example, is to add the whole of @base in the ks file or to manually select it with the search function in the GUI's package selection.

You should be able to recreate a spin without having to remember what packages you manually had to select in the GUI, from its ks file but you can't because of this behaviour.


Please run revisor from the console using the --debug command line switch and attach the output plus the kickstart to the ticket.

input ks file, stdout log, stderr log
revisor.tar.gz

File doesn't show very well, could you sent this to kanarip@fedoraproject.org?

Bumping ticket, closing by the end of the week if no response

Please tell me how it is unclear and I will try and make it clearer.

All I did was run with --debug, redirect standard output to one file and standard error to another. I also included the modified sample-ks.cfg that I used to run it.

with the debug flag, stderr seems almost identical to stdout anyway.

You should be able to see that dhclient is in the ks package list and the following 2 lines appear while parsing the file but are never seen after this. There is no "adding to transaction" line either. dhclient is unchecked in the GUI at the point where it appears and only manual selection in the GUI can get it to remain in the final iso.

From package list, including: dhclient
Package dhclient not excluded because we don't like it being excluded

This doesn't seem to give any useful information as to what is going on, but it is all that revisor would tell me even with --debug so there is little more information I can give.

What version of revisor are you running? 2.0.4.1-2 is the latest.
dhclient is in the required package list for live media, but may get excluded while doing installation media just because of that. It doesn't make much sense to me /requiring/ dhclient for live media anyway, so I'll remove it. I think that should fix it.
