Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-17 19:54:10 UTC
Fixed with pyparted 1.6.8.  parted ABI changed in 1.6.12 and I didn't
think about that consequence yesterday.

Comment 2 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2004-08-18 18:46:01 UTC
now anaconda fails with a couple of partition related assertion failures!

Assertion (ped_partition_is_active(part)) at
disk.c:935 in function ped_partition_get_flag() failed.

[ignore selected, then ]

Assertion (par->disk_specific != NULL ) at disk_dos.c:1161 in
function msdos_partition_get_flag() failed.

[there are no msdos partitions on the disks of this system]

This is probably also from the parted stuff,  do you want a new bug
created?

Comment 3 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2004-08-19 21:41:47 UTC
anaconda (rawhide) of 2004-08-18 still throws the first assertion bug,
but selecting "cancel" allows installation to proceed.

additionally, installation of IPROUTE RPM still fails unless selinux=0
is given on the boot line

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2004-08-23 19:06:26 UTC
Jeremy, I'm seeing the behavior ggw describes in Comment #3 in the
rawhide-20040823 tree.  Clicking "Cancel" appears to allow anaconda to
proceed, but this is something that should be looked at.

Setting state to Assigned.

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-23 19:08:37 UTC
Please file that as a separate bug.  Otherwise, things are going to
get hopelessly confused (and I have a box I can reproduce this on,
just need the hour or so to sit down and debug it).

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2004-08-23 19:13:42 UTC
Ok, I just filed bug #130692.
