Description Than Ngo 2016-04-01 15:46:05 UTC
Description of problem:
installation doesn't work because of error checking software dependencies

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Server-netinst-ppc64-24_Alpha-1.3.iso

How reproducible:
1. setup a guest with kimchi and boot the Fedora-Server-netinst-ppc64-24_Alpha-1.3.iso

2. change the Default Fedora mirror list URL to:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64

Actual results:
the anaconda shows "error checking software dependencies"

Comment 1 David Shea 2016-04-01 15:57:47 UTC
Looks like the ppc repo is busted.

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2016-04-01 15:59:16 UTC

> Looks like the ppc repo is busted.

yep, known issue

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2016-04-01 16:07:41 UTC
and maybe related to the system-python split out of the regular python3 package

Comment 4 Menanteau Guy 2016-06-15 15:41:56 UTC
This problem is still present on f24 RC1.
It is triggered by ppc64 netisnt install (see also bug 1346832)

Also if you choose "closest mirrors" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel.

Also if you set "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64" and you set "This URL refers to a mirror list" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel.

Also if you set "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-24&arch=ppc64" and you set "This URL refers to a mirror list" in anaconda "Installation Source" panel.

Note that for all these cases there are unappropriate proposal environments (looks like primary environments) in "Base environment" of anaconda "Software selection" panel.

Comment 6 Dan Horák 2016-06-16 08:49:27 UTC
I guess I see it, the repo is really broken. If you look into 
http://mirrors.nic.cz/fedora-secondary/development/24/Everything/ppc64/os/Packages/p/
you will see python3-libs-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64p7.rpm but not python3-libs-3.5.1-7.fc24.ppc64.rpm, python3 rpm itself has both ppc64 and ppc64p7

Comment 7 Dan Horák 2016-06-16 08:54:54 UTC
I would try to set the repo URL in anaconda to
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/development/24/Server/ppc64/os/
directly.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:27:47 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:09:07 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
