Description Will Woods 2008-07-29 19:27:02 UTC 
With anaconda 11.4.1.20 (which uses rpm 4.5.90-0.git8426.9), we get a traceback
when anaconda tries to switch CDs. The error message claims that rpm and kernel
are already in the transaction. These two packages are notable because they have
%posttrans scripts.

Logs forthcoming.

most relevant lines are at the end:

Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2008-08-01 02:17:41 UTC 
I do believe this is fixed with a test build of rpm.  This change to rpm allows
rpm to get the %posttrans content from the rpmdb rather than the .rpm file
itself.  This removes the need to go back and get the .rpm file at the end of
the transaction.
Comment 4 Will Woods 2008-08-01 18:04:13 UTC 
Doesn't seem to be fixed, at least not for the way anaconda performs the
transaction(s).
Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2008-08-04 19:33:53 UTC 
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
