A bzip2 compressed dump of anaconda
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda. I just tried to install fedora 9, Swedish. I got something similar, unfortunately I haven't been able to save the output. The problem occurs when it's checking the upgrade arch, f8 i386->f9 x86_64. I suspect it's an unsupported jump, but I still don't think the anaconda installer should try convert UTF-8 as ascii... The final line is: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 17: ordinal not in range(128) Right, should mention, position 17 in my complete name in the system is 'รถ'. I'll try to change it temporarily to see how it goes. And probably open another bug for f9, as I doubt anyone will read this:p This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. 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 prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 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 please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping We need to see the entire traceback to have a shot at fixing this, not just the last line. As this is almost certainly happening in a different place than the original bug report, please open a new one. Thanks. |
An upgrade from fc6/x86_64 to fc7/x86_64 using a network install from a FTP server accessing a DVD image, in French aborted while upgrading the first package. Restarting the upgrade in English avoided the crash.
