The missing RPM could be crucial and thus leave you with a non-working system. Also, the installer depends on certain packages getting installed so that things can be run in the post-install stage. If these aren't installed, then it could cause later tracebacks. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718 Description of problem: While installing packages, if the target rpm isn't found, the install just prompts you to retry. A reboot/exit option should be available. A skip option for non-essential packages should be available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install using a cd with a corrupt or missing file. 2. 3. Additional info: This isn't the biggest deal, but it's extremely frustrating to fail at the end of an install--especially for a package that could easily be added later.
