This doesn't have much to do with pungi, other than you used it to
create a tree with updated packages.  There was a change to yum in how
it dealt with package headers, and this led to there not being a
headers directory created.  This trips up anaconda, as it expects the
old behavior of yum.  Fear not, as this has been fixed in yum cvs, and
I expect there to be a yum update for Fedora 7 soon that addresses this
and some other issues.  Another spin with pungi once the new yum is in
place should resolve this.

In the mean time, you could exclude the newer yum from your pungi tree
and things should just work.
