You will periodically see errors like that when packages installed during the build process and so far as I can tell, they don't really have a negative impact. So far as when you picked to try and get back into building a LiveCD... there are about three different bugs that happened in August that have broken the build/install process so until those are fixed, forget about it. :( I had found a way around two of the bugs but now I've run into a third so I've decided to give up until something changes. Anaconda crashes after the device selection stage: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626780 livecd-creator creates iso that doesn't boot in KVM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624028 The new one fails when resizing the disk image file... either that or I have two different VMs (on i686 and the other x86_64) with disk images that are going bad.
