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.

TYL,
