OK so it looks like there is something weird going on with ksflatten.
When ksflatten is run not all of the %includes are taken out, and they
look to be run twice, once by ksflatten and once when livecd-creator
tries to parse the flattened file.  What is really weird is ksflatten
does not seem to linearly run ie. everything seems to be out of order.

Has anyone see issues like this before? More details below....


Generic ks file:
# cat ovirt-node-image.ks
%include common-install.ks
%include repos.ks
%packages --excludedocs --nobase
%include common-pkgs.ks
%end
%post
# cleanup rpmdb to allow non-matching host and chroot RPM versions
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
%include common-post.ks
%end


After ksflatten is run there are still some includes and there are none
the the included ks files:
