Steps to recreate the the problem.

1) Start F18 installation on zVM guest
2) Go through initial few screens.
3) On Software Selection screen select GNOME Desktop.

Due to failed dependencies installer cannot continue with installation (Refer to the attached screenshot)
If I select the Remove Packages option am able to proceed to next screen, but installation eventually fails with anaconda exception.

It's just a dependancy issue and quite common in this phase in Fedora.  The 390 Fedora release engineer just needs to know about them and he/she can fix it up.  Instead of the screen shot, provide him with the text-based list of packages which can be had from the log files.

Hm.

We could add some architecture specifications to the environments in comps, I suppose. Or have the s390 secondary arch filter their comps file.

But there's not much to help that you're installing something that may not make much sense for your platform. 

For the specific issue, gnome-bluetooth probably needs to not be built on s390, or have some requirements %ifarched in its spec file.

I see two error messages (dependency)

Error: Package: 1:gnome-bluetooth-3.4.0-2.fc17.s390x (F18-latest)
Requires: obexd
Error: Package: 1:gnome-bluetooth-3.4.0-2.fc17.s390x (F18-latest)
Requires: pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
Error: Package: gnome-boxes-3.6.1.1-1.fc18.s390x (F18-latest)
Requires: libvirt-daemon-kvm
Error: Package: 1:gnome-bluetooth-3.4.0-2.fc17.s390x (F18-latest)
Requires: gvfs-obexftp

So if I read your comment correctly you are proposing to remove gnome-bluetooth package for s390. Please confirm.

What about gnome-boxes ? should this also be removed and is not required for s390 ?

Test scenario I am trying here are prereqs for 3D desktop evaluation. Here is my plan

1) Install F18 with GNOME.
2) vncserver package available and able to configure.
3) Use the swrast related configuration tweak to enable 3D emulation.
4) Once the desktop is up and running try to use different GUI screens to see if they work as expected.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-11-14 16:32:31 UTC
I don't think vncserver supports the COMPOSITE extension, so (if I'm right) I think that will need to be fixed first before your testing can begin.

We had a patch to specifically enable the Composite extension on Power a while back.  I *think* the patches have since gone upstream, per
commit 17a8e2bea2d18e2bab04dc9a24f919c924cc7dbd
Author: Adam Jackson <ajax <at> redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Jul 23 15:55:14 2012 -0400

To verify the composite extension was enabled in the build, we would run this within a vncserver session, and look for "Composite (opcode: 146) in the output.
xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep opcode(In reply to comment #13)

Thanks for the update regarding vncserver and composite extension

What is the status with the package dependencies that is blocking our verification of 3D emulation?

I guess we should have finished that before Fedora 18 development cutoff - so time is short

Comment 10 Dan Horák 2012-11-20 09:52:11 UTC
Lets start with the easier one - gnome-boxes requires libvirt-kvm-daemon => libvirt will start providing libvirt-kvm-daemon on ppc64 and s390x in its next build, see bug #872545 for details

The gnome-bluetooth issue is more complicated, because a F-17 build is inherited to the F-18 composes
- the "gnome" group in comps lists gnome-bluetooth as the required package and the comps and the rel-eng tools don't provide a mechanism like ExcludeArch (see Bill's comment #3)
- also gnome-shell < 3.6.2-2.fc18 had gnome-bluetooth as hard-coded Requires (this is fixed now).

The options are either
a) to build the whole bluetooth stack, which is IMHO doable but will waste some disk/memory space
b) drop the ExcludeArch: s390(x) from gnome-bluetooth which was added during f18 development and rebuild it with the hard-coded obex/... dependencies skipped on s390(x)
c) to workaround the dependency issue (maybe Obsoletes: gnome-bluetooth in gnome-shell would work).
d) The last option to improve the rel-eng data and tools can be thought in the long term.

Hi Dan,
yes either options c) or b)  - which is easier to implement
gnome-bluetooth is not required on z
