If you use the script at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/dumphdrlist.py, do you see the python-popt package listed in the output? Also, do you have the python-popt package in your tree? Note that we will warn about unsatisfied dependencies even if we can't figure out a resolution for them, so I'm betting that you don't actually have these new packages. [pearcec@krusty base]$ dumphdrlist.py hdlist|grep python-popt 0:python-popt-0.8.8-7.x.2.i386 1 Plus a few others from the kickstart script [pearcec@krusty base]$ dumphdrlist.py hdlist | grep Omni 0:Omni-0.5.0-4.i386 1 0:Omni-foomatic-0.5.0-4.i386 1 [pearcec@krusty base]$ dumphdrlist.py hdlist | grep perl-DB_File 1:perl-DB_File-1.75-26.72.3.i386 1 [pearcec@krusty base]$ Note: When I get to the dependencies resolution stage it warns about those RPMs and then I hit go ahead and install them and everything works. Here is to show you where I am building the hdlist from : [pearcec@krusty RPMS]$ pwd /home/tar/distros/redhat72/RedHat/RPMS [pearcec@krusty RPMS]$ ls -la Omni-* -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 11330381 Oct 31 2001 Omni-0.5.0-4.i386.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 97968 Oct 31 2001 Omni-foomatic-0.5.0-4.i386.rpm [pearcec@krusty RPMS]$ Note certain if this helps, but I setup 7.3 today and am not expericening any problems. I saw this got closed today. I believe the problem stemps from the fact that my update script only copies over updates for existing RPM's and not new ones. There were some RPM's updates that recently added new files. I doubt I will get time to verify this, I just wanted to get it on record for anyone else doing this. Time tracking values updated |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.0.3 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020205 Description of problem: In an attempt to automate as much as the install as possiable and given the number of updates, I built a updated version of the linux distribution. I copied redhat 7.2 from cd in to a directory I have NFS mounted. I periodically grab the updates from redhat 7.2 and use a utility to merge over the new RPMS and remove the old ones. Some updateMirror.pl program I tweaked a little bit. Then I run the /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers /home/tar/distros/redhat72/ This should update the hdlist files. It worked before about 6 weeks ago. Now with a ks.cfg I used in the past it complains about some files that I add in addition to groups. Note the following ks.cfg : # Commented out ones aren't working. #perl-DB_File #perl-CPAN arpwatch VFlib2-devel libodbc++-devel libogg-devel #Omni-foomatic shapecfg #python-popt #Omni apache-devel libvorbis-devel kernel-enterprise unixODBC-devel gsm-devel mysql-server openldap-servers php-imap #perl-CGI php-pgsql #perl-NDBM_File mysql xpdf libao-devel php-mysql unzip audiofile-devel cdrecord-devel The ones that were giving troubles I commented out. When they weren't commented out I got the following : tility to merge over the new RPMS and remove the old ones. Some updateMirror.pl program I tweaked a little bit. Then I run the /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers /home/tar/distros/redhat72/ This should update the hdlist files. It worked before about 6 weeks ago. Now with a ks.cfg I used in the past it complains about some files that I add in addition to groups.

Finally when I removed the files from my ks.cfg, the ones I commented out above. It runs, but then stops and complains about needing those files to satisfy dependencies. Hence the reason I have them in the ks script. Then the install works fine and the files are in place. Sorry this is a big one. I combed for a similiar problem in the bugs list. Couldn't find it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build an updated distro to be NFS mounted 2. kickstart via DHCP 3. Wait for crash...
