[Fedora-livecd-list] Help with a problem I am seeing when trying to build a liveCD for FC13

[Jim Galarowicz]

Hi Bruno, all,

Thank you for your reply!

So, what you are saying might have happened, is that the order of the 
packages to be installed may have changed and now I'm hitting packages 
that don't have the requirement specified for coreutils and that is the 
cause of the initial failures I'm seeing?

Is there a workaround to use while the packages are being (bug) reported 
on?   Is there a way to force coreutils to the top of the install list?

At some point, coreutils does get installed but, I still see this 
behaviour after the point that coreutils is installed.
I look into /var/tmp/imgcreate-QMzUKo/install_root/bin and see coreutils 
commands present while the buildlivecd.sh script is running, but still 
seeing these failures.   When I watch the script running and look into 
/home/jeg/OpenSpeedShop/liveOSS/INSTALL/localhost.localdomain/  there 
are no rpm-tmp.nnnnn files being created there.   Not sure why.  I see 
older tmp files there from previous runs that worked a few days ago.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again,
