I got around it by grabbing yum and python-iniparse srcrpms from rawhide
and rpm --rebuild(ing) them, before using them to update an otherwise
normal f7+updates system.
Then I was able to get git livecd-tools to work.
TODO: start a livecd-tools:/usr/share/doc/livecd-tools*/FAQ which has an
entry for this, along with snippets about cachedir usage, and can serve
as a general placeholder for things until they either make it into the
documentation, or become obsolete.
