fedora 25 create livecd creator fails with LXDE ks, and with package conflicts

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hello,

I have been trying to build the LXDE spin iso using the default Fedora 25 kickstarts
available 
/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-lxde.ks and the dependent kickstart files. So, I
try the following and get:

$sudo setenforce 0
$ sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-live-lxde.ks --tmpdir=tmp
--fslabel=Fedora-LXDE-25_x86_64
/usr/lib64/python2.7/optparse.py:1013: PendingDeprecationWarning: The KSOption class is
deprecated and will be removed in pykickstart-3.  Use the argparse module instead.
  option = self.option_class(*args, **kwargs)
['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '-F', '-L', '_Fedora-LXDE-25_x86_64',
'-m', '1', '-b', '4096', '/dev/loop0']
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/config.py:1093: PendingDeprecationWarning: use
len(mi) instead
  startupconf.distroverpkg)
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/yuminst.py:161: PendingDeprecationWarning: use
len(mi) instead
  option = option.replace("$releasever", yum.config._getsysver("/",
("system-release(release)", "redhat-release")))
No such package system-config-network to remove
Error creating Live CD : Failed to build transaction : libcrypt conflicts with
libcrypt-nss-2.24-3.fc25.x86_64
libcrypt-nss conflicts with libcrypt-2.24-3.fc25.x86_64


As we can see, the conflict does not allow for the creation of the LiveCD to proceed. But
this is the vanilla kickstart file for Fedora's LXDE so I was wondering what was going
wrong here?

Thanks very much in advance!

Best wishes,
Ranjan

Not really directly related to the issue you mentioned... but livecd-creator is currently
dead in Fedora 25... or at least that is my understanding with regards to the current
version in the stock repos.  The primary developers prefer to maintain a more robust tool
named livemedia-creator mainly because livecd-creator needed to be ported to Python 3 and
converted to use dnf.  Luckily a few other folks have picked up the code and done that
work and have a Copr repo.  They hope to get their changes upstream to replace the current
version of livecd-creator rather than having a forked-with-a-different name package.  Not
sure how long that is going to take.

With regards to your package conflict, there have been a ton of updates (as there always
are) and my guess would be that it is just a temporary... that and the fact that the spin
kickstart package also got updated fairly recently.  Using the most up-to-date version?

In any event, even if you do get the package situation worked out, livecd-creator will
(probably) fail further into the build process.  Switching to livemedia-creator isn't
that hard but it does take some effort.  Hopefully the move to an updated livecd-creator
won't take too long.

TYL,

Yes, this is the most up-to-date version as of yesterday. What does not make a lot of
sense to me is that the LXDE spin exists on Fedora 25 so something must have created it.
Not the ks files that are already there?

Thank you again. I will probably wait for an updated version because I am not sure how to
handle the kickstart files. 

Best wishes,

I use live media creator in the Lorax package to make my livecd's nowadays.
