When ever I run system-config-kickstart I get the following error:


# whereis system-config-kickstart
system-config-kickstart: /usr/bin/system-config-kickstart
/usr/share/system-config-kickstart /usr/share/man/man8/system-
config-kickstart.8.gz

system-config-kickstart requires either the base or development yum
repository enabled for package selection.  Please enable one of these in
/etc/yum.repos.d and restart the program.

I have the same problem on two different installes.  I looked in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ for either base or developement.  Base was not there, but
there was a core which was enabled and I enabled development (set
enabled=1in fedora-development.repo).

After upgrading to the developement package I get the following error:

# system-config-kickstart
system-config-kickstart requires either the base or development yum
repository enabled for package selection.  Please enable one of these in
/etc/yum.repos.d and restart the program.
#

Can someone please tell me what to look for?  I have looked at
/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/packages.py and found it seems to be
looking for a local repos, I think.  I have googled this and have not found
an answer.  Please help.
