Description Kevin Fenzi 2018-05-23 18:01:16 UTC 
This is affecting both rawhide composes and f28 updates (for building atomichost installer images). 

See: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=27136573
and from it's root.log:

This is because GConf2 is no longer installed by default... 

Running in a chroot I see: 

# chroot /var/lib/mock/f28-build-12504221-915238/root
bash-4.4# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/var/tmp/lorax.mqeila51/installtree/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true

(gconftool-2:5532): GConf-WARNING **: 17:54:27.261: Failed to load source "xml:readwrite:/var/tmp/lorax.mqeila51/installtree/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults": Failed: Could not make directory `/var/tmp/lorax.mqeila51/installtree/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults': No such file or directory
**
GConf:ERROR:gconftool.c:969:main: assertion failed: (err == NULL)
Aborted (core dumped)

So, we should get lorax to no longer use gconftool-2. Perhaps dconf?
Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2018-05-23 18:02:55 UTC 
Marking as a blocker as we get no composes until we fix it.

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2018-05-23 21:24:58 UTC 
This will be in the next build.
Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2018-05-23 21:59:44 UTC 
Awesome. Is that likely to be today? If not, I might untag the libgnomekbd build so we get GConf2 back temporarily so we get a rawhide tomorrow.

Thanks!
