The problem here is that we have two repos - instrepo (Fedora, which has kernel/initrd/stage2) and distrepo (Everything, but no kernel images). Currently we set method=instrepo as a fallback for the case where we're missing packages / images. Lacking stage2 is very common - it happens on any system where /boot is less than 200MB - so this made sense. Instead we should probably do method=distrepo, and have stage2=instrepo+stage2path in the case where we're missing stage2. Well. The *real* fix would be to get F8 yum and F9 yum (in anaconda) to agree on which packages you need on multilib systems. But that's a much, much harder problem. Current bzr now uses distrepo for method=URL. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping The "real" fix has been implemented for F10 - preupgrade and anaconda share anaconda-yum-plugins, which decides which packages are needed. |
