Description Caerie Houchins 2005-10-23 21:53:05 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050927 Fedora/1.0.7-2.1.fc4.nr Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:

Anaconda crashes with Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1074, in ? 
  from yuminstall import YumBackend
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 36, in ?
  from import config
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 34, in ?

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/repomd/repoMDObject.py", line 19, in ?
  from mdErrors import RepoMDerror
ImportError: cannot import name RepoMDError
install exited abnormally

Appears that its not loading the class correctly from mdErrors.pl but I don't know why.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
daily-build

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from burnt cdrom with boot.iso
2. choose html install
3. give it the IP and path to my local webserver where stage,img and my rawhide local mirror is located.
  

Actual Results:  Anaconda crashes with Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1074, in ? 
  from yuminstall import YumBackend
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 36, in ?

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/repomd/repoMDObject.py", line 19, in ?
  from mdErrors import RepoMDerror
ImportError: cannot import name RepoMDError

Expected Results:  a graphical or text based install with anaconda
