      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Do a kickstart installation that has a missing package in the %packages section.

      This might happen easily either due to a typo, changes in repositories or outdated kickstart. In any case, should not crash the installer.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      anaconda-40.22.3.12-1.el10

      How reproducible:

      Always.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. start a RHEL kickstart installation that has a missing package in the %packages section
      2. once the installation starts, Anaconda detects the missing package and asks the user to either quit the installation or continue without installing the missing package
      3. select to continue

      Expected results

      Installation is successful & the missing package is not installed.

      Actual results

      Anaconda crashes with some error about kernel version list not being available.
