Centos 7.7.1908 kickstart: error during package installation when installing packages other than just base and core
by Shaggy1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TGSC)
Hi
I've been attempting to install centos 7.7.1908 using pxeboot and a kickstart file, but am having problems installing packages.
The installation goes through fine when my packages list looks like:
%packages
@base
@core
%end
However when I add the development package:
%packages
@base
@core
@development --optional
%end
It runs through until 'Starting package installation process', then comes up with an error dialog:
The following software marked for installation has errors.
This is likely caused by an error with your installation source.
mock-1.4.20-1e7.noarch requires /usr/bin/python3.6
Python36-chardet-3.0.4-1.el7.noarch requires /usr/bin/python3.6
.....
<more packages listed>
Does anyone know what this message means ?
Is it saying it did not find the required packages in Packages directory ?
Do I need to somehow add something to the initrd image ?
Does anyone know where it initially gets the information to generate /usr/bin from ? Where should it be getting python3.6 from during the installation ?
Can someone clarify what the directory structure for the install should be ?
I currently have:
isofiles
