If that is true that will break far more than just firstboot..far more. In fact its pretty hard to imagine having a desktop Fedora system without python installed. That's bad enough...but its worse..what you are telling me is not self-consistent from an rpm based install process standpoint. Here's is a summary of what you are saying to me, just for clarity. /usr/bin/python exists /usr/bin/python2 exists but the python package itself is not installed. That is inconsistent information. rpm -qf /usr/bin/python will tell you which package(s) the rpm system thinks "own" the /usr/bin/python file in the rpm sense. If rpm does not return with a package name, then I'm not sure how you get into that situation post-install. Unless the install process itself flaked out and wasn't recording information into the rpmdb during the rpm transaction at install time. I would have expected the install to fail with some sort of error in that case. While its nice to know that your problem isn't firstboot itself, the current picture painted by the available information doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Unless there was some install time errors you haven't told me me about...or you are probing the system from the installer environment y mistake and not the system post-install. Very very odd. -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
