On Fedora 9, using F9's revisor which has not changed in a while...

missing anaconda-runtime

it earlier today, but IIRC it had not changed...

I've nuked /var/tmp/revisor* - perhaps state got saved anywhere else?

Adding anaconda-runtime to the kickstart file that drives the process fixes the problem. It's not a problem I was expecting to have though :-/

In any case, am I missing any factor that could be messing up the process?

I'd like to know what version of Fedora you're attempting to compose... Also Fedora 9?

I'd love some debug output, since it's going to tell me what happened exactly. --debug 9 should do the trick and you can send it to me in private (since it's going to end up being a large log file).

Kind regards,
