Description Leston Buell 2000-10-01 23:12:06 UTC
Anaconda failed with the following traceback, aborting the installation
process. I think this was just before package selection:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run

Python traceback

Comment 2 Pekka Savola 2000-10-02 20:27:54 UTC
Please make sure that 'screen' package in RedHat/RPMS/ has not been corrupted (or missing).


Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-02 22:14:33 UTC
Is this from an official Red Hat CD or did you burn one yourself?  You should do
as the previous poster said and verify the screen package is ok.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-03 19:00:59 UTC
Also, run the 'md5sum' program on the screen RPM and I'll check its not corrupt.
