Yes, I surmise that the removal was not complete. You could open a
bugzilla on the package of that file to get it fixed.
fedora-kickstarts-0.36.0-0.3.fc37.noarch
Yes, I was thinking of doing this, and will do so now.

So, it looks like it is the terminal login, and gdm, which is somehow
connected to login, but is not owned by any package. Isn't gdm the
gnome desktop manager? Maybe this is a relic that hasn't been cleaned
up after the move to Wayland?
/etc/X11/gdm
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Blackbox
/etc/dconf/db/gdm
$ rpm -qf /etc/X11/gdm
file /etc/X11/gdm is not owned by any package
The only imgcreate I can find is
python3-imgcreate-31.0-2.fc37.x86_64
As far is I can tell, there is no library connected with that package.
Perhaps it is one of its dependencies that is causing the problem.
What happens if you try doing the creation in a virtual console? They
can be found at Ctrl-Alt-F[3-6]. Some are used by different processes,
so you will have to try until you get a login screen.

Because I did not see your email earlier, I went ahead and tried the kickstart files that
are presumably the ones that are used to build the official Fedora spins. I tried the
kickstarts for the Workstation, the LXDE and the XFCE Live CDs. In all cases, the error is
the same.
Does this mean that the Fedora LiveCDs are created by some other process? I always assumed
that it was in the same manner as how I rolled my own personal spins, but with the
official kickstart files.
Why should it matter that I do the creations in a virtual screen? I setenforce to 0 and
then use livecd-creator on the .ks file to create my spin. Would a virtual console do
something else?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
