Please download http://people.redhat.com/msw/depcheck-update.img and write it to a blank floppy disk with "dd if=depcheck-update.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k". Insert your boot disk or CD-ROM and type "linux updates" at the boot prompt. You will be prompted to insert the disk. After the update has been loaded you may proceed normally through the upgrade process. Please report if this fix works for you. I see the same error when trying to upgrade from RH5.2 to RH7.1 in both GUI and text modes. I'll attach the anacdump.txt file in a second. I will try msw's workaround later today.

http://people.redhat.com/msw/depcheck-update.img solves the problem for me. Ok...good. Glad it works. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) Description of problem: I insert the install disk and tell it that I want to do an upgrade. It will complain that two of my partitions are not mountable (because they are Reiser) but those partitions are not for the OS. They are /home plus an extra partition. Then anaconda analyses which rpms to update and eventually dies. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert install disk 1 for 7.1 and boot. 2.Select update. 3. Actual Results: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 520, in ?ntf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 391, in runself.icw.run () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 879, in runmainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2554, in mainloop_gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125, in __call__ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 500, in nextClicked self.setScreen (self.currentScreen, self.nextClicked) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 610, in setScreen new_screen = screen.getScreen () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/upgrade_swap_gui.py", line 93, in getScreen self.todo.upgradeFindPackages () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1304, in upgradeFindPackages deps = self.verifyDeps () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1110, in verifyDeps installed = ("", h[rpm.RPMTAG_VERSION], NameError: h Local variables in innermost frame: header: <header object at 86767a0> name: licq needed: ('', '1.6', '') win: <gui.WaitWindow instance at 8848838> release: 3 sense: 1 reqversion: 1.6 conflicts: 0 flags: 2 version: 1.0.2 p: gtk+-devel Expected Results: The install should have succeeded.
