F26: Live CD creation fails with "nothing provides

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I was trying to create a new LiveCD using livecd-creator and here is the error message I get:

$ sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-livecd-shunya-pekwm.ks --tmpdir=tmp --fslabel=Fedora-Shunya-26_x86_64.iso
['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '-F', '-L', '_Fedora-Shunya-26_x86_64.iso', '-m', '1', '-b', '4096', '/dev/loop0']

Error creating Live CD : Failed to build transaction : 
 Problem 1: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides python(abi) = 3.5 needed by battray-2.2-1.fc25.noarch
 Problem 2: package anaconda-26.21.11-1.fc26.x86_64 requires anaconda-core = 26.21.11-1.fc26, but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides realmd needed by anaconda-core-26.21.11-1.fc26.x86_64

I am perplexed. How do I get around these failures?

Thanks,
Ranjan

Does your kickstart exclude "realmd"? Check to see if "-realmd" exists
in the %packages section. If it's there, take it out, and that will
fix it.

Maybe you are running into this bug?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1464843

I seem to have avoided hitting it by using baseurl references (I have local repo mirrors) and complete package lists.

TYL,
