Pungi and a minimal F9 - anaconda-runtime/buildinstall errors

[Martin Langhoff]

Getting my feet wet with pungi, I am tring to build a minimal F9
installer, and it is erroring out, as follows.

The ks file is adapted from one from the livecd packages:

  $ cat livecd-fedora-9-minimal.ks
repo --name=release
--mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=$basearch
repo --name=updates
--mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f9&arch=$basearch

%packages
@core
bash
kernel
passwd
policycoreutils
chkconfig
authconfig
rootfiles

%end

My commandline is

  $ sudo pungi -c livecd-fedora-9-minimal.ks --nosource --force --ver=F9

and it bails out on me thus:
