Description Zing 2009-07-22 15:48:17 UTC

Description of problem:

I wanted to upgrade an F7 install to F11.  It appears I have to use the upgradeany option, but that didn't find my F7 installation.

I used "linux upgradeany" from the isolinux prompt.

If I changed /etc/redhat-release to say "Fedora release 9", then anaconda finds and upgrades it without having to specify upgradeany.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda F11 release

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
basically install an older fedora release < 9 (or maybe just edit /etc/redhat-release to an older version < 9), and try upgrading it with F11 dvd using upgradeany.
  
Actual results:
Doesn't find or ignores the F7 install and acts like a new install.

Expected results:
Option to upgrade the older release.

Comment 1 Radek Vykydal 2009-07-30 10:08:27 UTC

This should be fixed in version 12.7 of anaconda.
Thanks for the report.
