This is due to rpm not being able to handle directory/symlink transitions... if you search, you'll find that bug. There's not really anything anaconda can do about it. That explains anaconda not being able to handle the post-install failure, but the issue is letting the user customize the list. I *KNOW* the 4.3.0 install will fail, I want to *SKIP THE INSTALL* of 4.3.0. RedHat 7.3 has a "Customize" check box on the screen where you choose the installation type (workstation/server/upgrade) and Fedora needs that feature too. Recovery after a failed post-install is *NOT* the issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: I had XFree86 4.4.0 installed from source, and Fedora insisted on "upgrading" to 4.3.0. To make things worse, the post-install script for 4.3.0 fails trying to adjust /etc/X11/xkb. This kills the upgrade mid stream, leaving what was Redhat 7.3 in an unbootable state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start with a clean XFree86 4.2 system 2.rename /etc/X11/xkb (should be a directory) 3.ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /etc/X11/xkb (symlink pointing to self) 4.Install Fedora Actual Results: The install will abort, suggesting a media error, when the real problem is a post-install error. If you could customize the package list and skip the "upgrade" for X, this problem disappears. It would also remove the need to reinstall X 4.4.0 Additional info:
