Does this behavior still happen with Pinstripe (beta-5)? Please reopen if you continue to have problems. Sorry to say that this is not fixed in RC1. The error is not the same though: I boot with 'linux updates', choose 'upgrade an existing system', and the installer passes the steps 'finding a previous RedHat installation' and gives up when 'finding the packages to upgrade' with a 'Rebuild of RPM database failed. You may be out of disk space' (which is false, btw). I can also see a partial error on the blue screen behind the dialog box saying '...open Packages index'. The debian system is the same as in the original bug report. It doesn't have /etc/redhat-release, right? No, it has a /etc/debian-release instead :) Stelian. |
Selecting 'upgrade system' (on a disk containing a debian potato installation) gives the python traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 176 in run mainloop() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2538 in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125 in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 408, in nextClicked next = self.currentScreen.getNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/examine_gui.py", line 21, in getNext self.todo.upgradeFindPackages (self.root) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 771, in upgradeFindPackages fstab.readFstab('/mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab', self.fstab) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 913, in readFstab if fields[0] == "#" and fields[1][0:4] == "LOOP": IndexError: list index out of range After clicking OK in the python traceback dialog, the system reboots (it should get back to the upgrade/install selection, no ?).
