Anaconda - "Pane is dead"

[mpalmi]

After doing a make bare and ./bootstrap.sh, an ISO is produced.
During install-time, the following error/stack-trace is seen.
We need to figure out what's causing this and either fix it or document it as a known issue.

I have been doing builds with modifications only to the kickstart, and I haven't been able to reproduce this. @mpalmi @tomhurd please keep an eye on this and update the issue with ways to reproduce.

I think I reproduced this and know what's causing the issue. When you add a commit, a new folder is created based on the commit hash in the work directory. The build system is supposed to pull in all of the RPMs or copy over the cache directory in lorax. I am assuming neither of those are happening.

Another 'Pane is dead' error message:

This appeared after doing a make bare and then ./bootstrap.sh.

• opt repo set to "/home/mpalmiotto/opt/"

This time, I did the following:
make bare
./bootstrap.sh
(Installed ISO with no error messages)

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the issue with the above steps.

This is still not consistently reproduceable. We will want to document this as a known issue.
