I'm trying to rebuild a custom 4.6 installer using /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall (from anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.81-1.centos4.1), but it gives the following warnings/errors:

... and buildinstall waits until you type y or n. If you type "n", then you end up with an empty font.bgf.gz file ...
It appears the /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/upd-instroot script wants to create it's own font.bgf.gz, but it can't find the bits to do this.
Also, /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/loader/font.bgf.gz already exists as part of anaconda-runtime, so I'm not sure why it is trying to re-create this font file.
I can hack /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/upd-instroot to skip this, but I guess I must be doing something wrong as this shouldn't happen ...
James,
It happens to us as well ... it is something that needs to be fixed, but does not really affect anything except building the distro.
I will look at it later, but you are not doing anything wrong.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
