Description of problem: I suspected that sitching INSTALLATION SOURCE while anaconda is resolving dependencies for a package group is not 100% safe. While resolving dependecies of a pakage group using CLOSEST MIRROR i swiched to DVD. Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-18.16 Additional info: libreport version: 2.0.14 cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda kernel: 3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 description: :The following was filed automatically by anaconda: :anaconda 18.16 exception report :Traceback (most recent call first): : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 600, in _configureBaseRepo : self._yum.preconf.releasever = self._getReleaseVersion(url) : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/packaging/yumpayload.py", line 390, in updateBaseRepo : self._configureBaseRepo(storage, checkmount=checkmount) : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/source.py", line 510, in apply : checkmount=False) : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 108, in _runSpoke : action.apply() : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 323, in _on_spoke_clicked : self._runSpoke(spoke) :AttributeError: 'YumBase' object has no attribute 'preconf'

Enhanced description, reproduced on another guest: 1. accept fate 2. wait some seconds for GNOME to be resolved (to avoid 864737) 3. enter INSTALLATION DESTINATION, select CLOSEST MIRROR. 4. wait for CLOSEST MIRROR to be avaiable. 5. select XFCE Destop, then return to the main hub. 6. while dependencies are being resolved, enter INSTALLATION DESTINATION and change to DVD and return to the main hub.
Perhaps we should not let you change source while we're depsolving.
submitted a patch to lock out the source spoke while checking deps. It's the easy fix for now, but we should make it thread safe.
