Does it work if you edit /etc/system-config-packages.method and put MOUNTPOINT=/mnt in there? That file did not exist so I created it and put "MOUNTPOINT=/mnt" in it. After I did that, it worked. I was able to add a package from an iso image. Do you have anything mounted on or in /mnt? Yes and no. On my first attempt, I had an NFS mount to the iso images on another machine and mounted the iso directory's parent on /mnt. After that didn't work (system-config-packages crashed as described), I copied the iso images to the local machine and umounted the NFS file system. When pointed to the local directory, system-config-packages continued to crash. I noticed that the mount command continued to say that the NFS file system was mounted on /mnt even after the umount. Running umount again resulted in "/mnt not mounted" messages. It seemed all hosed up at that point with multiple loop devices mounted and iso9660 systems mounted on the loop devices, strange messages, etc., etc. I rebooted the machine (it had abunch of errors during the shutdown regarding being unable to unmount the loop devices) and it came back up in a better state. I renamed the /etc/system-config-packages.method file and ran system-config-packages again, pointing it to the local ios dierctory and it worked. One thing I notice is when you bring up system-config-packages and then click the quit button, the iso image remains mounted. Shouldn't it go away once the application is terminated? Okay, this should be better in CVS Closing per comment #5 and no feedback. |
