Hello,
I am aware that a more appropriate place to post would have been the livecd list which is archived at
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/livecd@lists.fedoraproject.org...
but since the archives seem to be pure spam for the past two months, I am not sure if anyone reads it any more.
So, I thought that I would try my luck here.
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?
Fedora has switched to livemedia-creator in f24.
This issue is likely that livecd-creator doesn't understand rpm weak deps (which is how dnf chooses which of those libraries to install).
I'd suggest going to livemedia-creator, or if you cannot do that there is a fork of livecd-tools out there thats been ported to python3 and dnf, and it may handle this case.
