Description Christopher S. Surridge 2000-07-25 02:54:31 UTC
I tried the upgrade (as opposed to fresh install) of RedHat 7 beta 4 and
got the following dump, plus an error message saying that the RPM database
could not be built, possibly because I did not have enough disk space. From
a quick df, it looks like I should have more than enough.

Traceback (innermost last):

Already fixed internally :-)
