which updates.img did you use? the one listed in the testcase? I don't think that's a valid updates.img anymore.

When I use one built earlier today, it works for my testing:

Comment 7 Tim Flink 2013-09-11 23:49:19 UTC 
If this is a valid bug, it's probably a blocker. Proposing as a blocker for F20 alpha due to violation of the following F20 alpha release criterion [1]:

The installer must be able to download and use an installer update image from an HTTP server.

yes,the testcase one.I'm able to download it manually.what's more,I have asked others to test this with the testcase one,there is no this bug? in i386 install.hmmm,I feel a little confused now.

I have tested this case with the image you offered,and asked that one to test this case again.It turns out that you are right.BTW,I think it's necessary to update the image in that testcase,yes? :(

The updates.img in that testcase just 3 years old and the updates.img format has changed quite a bit since then.

I agree that we should probably update that updates.img, though
Comment 11 David Shea 2013-09-12 13:46:52 UTC 
updates.img is unpacked to /run/install/updates
Comment 12 Petr Schindler 2013-09-16 15:28:03 UTC 
It was caused by outdated test case (updates.img used there was too old).
