Anaconda fragility with rawhide of 2006-01-30

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

Anaconda is quite fragile at the moment with several module failures if
you have an adverse setup or make "wrong" selections.

For example, if there is a pre-existing FC5t2+ (rawhide) installed on
the machine, anaconda's attempt to present the upgrade/install over
window fails miserable.

Secondly, if you attempt to "customize now" in the package select window
it also fails to load or display the group selection window.

Each case causes a retry/exit window to appear.  Multiple retry's don't
change anything, and exiting causes a reboot.

This was due to a screen getting deleted that should not have been
removed.  It's back now, so these issues should be taken care of.

libexpat.so.0 got moved (see Rawhide daily mail), so the image building
script didn't pick it up, therefore various things failed.  We've
already committed a fix for that.  Should be fine tomorrow, barring
something else happening.
