Many different failures with Fedora-19-Beta-TC3-x86_64-netinst.iso, no successes

[Jay Finger]

I would like to create a bug in bugzilla for this issue, but I can't seem
to locate a button to do so.  Probably a noob issue.  Regardless, how do I
do so?


Well I should have thought to look in /tmp.  But that also seems like a
design flaw:  why doesn't anaconda put the log files where people know to
look for them?

In /tmp/packaging.log I see:
01:16:01,811 DEBUG packaging: Transaction couldn't start:
01:16:01,813 DEBUG packaging: file /usr/bin/ht conflicts between attempted
installs of ht-2.0.18-4.fc19.x86_x64 and
texlive-tex4ht-bin-2:svn26509.0-22.20130427_r30134.fc19.x86_64
01:16:01.813 ERR packaging:  YumRPMTransError Could not run transaction.

Multiple problems here:
1) The error message presented to the user completely sucks.  Showing "file
/usr/bin/ht conflicts between attempted installs of
ht-2.0.18-4.fc19.x86_x64 and
texlive-tex4ht-bin-2:svn26509.0-22.20130427_r30134.fc19.x86_64" would not
be helpful to most people, but is far better than "YumRPMTransError Could
not run transaction".

2) The actual useful info is report as a DEBUG message in the log.

3) Nothing is presented to the user to report the bug, which means that
Fedora folks get no feedback as to how many people encounter this.

Having said that, this is _not_ a beta blocker.

I think it should be a release blocker, though.  The scenario for this was
to select "GNOME Desktop", then select all of the additional packages for
that environment.
