2.2.2.3. Packages Changes
These changes affect the
%packages section:
- The
--ignoreDepsand--resolveDepsarguments have been removed. Anaconda automatically resolves dependencies, but will skip installation of packages that have unmet dependencies. - If you want to get the exact same set of packages using Kickstart that you would in a default GUI install accepting all of the defaults, add the following:
%packages --default %end
- You can also optionally specify the architecture of packages that you want installed for multi-arch installs. For instance:
%packages glibc.i686 %end
This would add the x86 glibc package to the set, which can be useful on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems that require the 32-bit packages for compatibility reasons. - It is not possible to audit and migrate all of the packages and groups in the
%packagessection. Some packages and groups have been removed, some added, and some have had their name changed. See the Release Notes for more details.
