These are packages listed in the group file, comps.xml, most likely 
under @core or @base, and which are arch-specific (e.g. not available 
for the architecture you are composing).

Start Revisor with --yes from the command-line, or specify %packages 
--ignoremissing in the manifest.

Revisor would still complain about the missing packages, but it'll limit 
itself to the terminal. It needs to complain some, as these missing 
packages might result in something different then one would expect. 
Maybe not in this case, but if you include third party packages that are 
missing, you would want to know and abort before the compose finishes.

I'll add this to the documentation however.

Kind regards,
