#171 Package resolution fails if no kickstart file used
Closed: Invalid Opened by gallegosja@gmail.com.

Reopen Issue

If you don't set the Use kickstart config, the package selection comes as empty... after that, even if you select packages, packages are not installed and the process gets stuck there, you click "continue" and it supposedly resolves its dependencies, but then it doesn't go to the next step.
Output:

The package list should have the packages already selected i.e. [(u'NetworkManager-gnome', u'i386', u'1', u'0.6.5', u'5.fc7'), (u'a2ps', u'i386', u'0', u'4.13b', u'65.fc7')...], instead here appears as an empty list []. If you select a kickstart file and then customize the package selection everything works fine.

The list you see is what revisor gets from the kickstart file, which as you said, you didn't use. The list is thus empty.

Understood, however, the problem still persists, the process gets stuck in that step if you didn't open a KS file. Something else must be wrong (which I didn't see). I can provide you with the whole debug messages if that helps solving the problem. Actually, I may have been wrong in my wording... problem is this: you select a KS file in the file input above, but unselect "Use package manifest from kickstart data" (see attached screenshot). I am attaching the whole debug text in case something went amiss in the previous snips.

There's no --debug option with my revisor install... only the previous debug text...
