Description Daniel Benamy 2008-05-06 04:04:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Everything goes smoothly until the "Download boot images" stage. When the
progress bar gets about 95% across the screen and says "Downloading installer
stage 2..." it stops. The console says:
No package matched to remove
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 198, in on_assistant_apply
    self._do_main()
  File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 206, in _do_main
    self.main_preupgrade()
  File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 376, in main_preupgrade
    (mdev,mpath) = preupgrade.bootpath_to_anacondapath(stage2_abs)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

The "No package..." line shows up much earlier.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
preupgrade-0.9.2-1.fc8

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run preupgrade.
2. Try to upgrade to rawhide (from fedora 8).
  
Additional info:
Installed with:
# yum --enablerepo=development install preupdate

preupgrade-cli has the same problem:

They use the same backend, so I'd expect them both to have the same problem.

You should try preupgrade-0.9.3, which has some fixes for this problem.  You can get it (for F8) here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=47900
Please retest with that package and let us know if it works.

That worked. Thanks!
