Description of problem:

While testing upgrades (and bug#678201), I noticed that the installer presents an error when there are package issues on upgrade.  However, the details of the dialog are empty.  I've seen this in TUI and GUI installs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * anaconda-15.20-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F14 + F14-updates
2. Upgrade to F15 Alpha TC2
  
Actual results:

Welcome to Fedora for x86_64

Expected results:

No package transaction errors, but that's for another bug.  I would expect to see the cause of the transaction errors in the dialog.

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2011-02-18 15:02:24 UTC 
This is because _run in yuminstall.py doesn't have a way of converting rpm.RPMPROB_REQUIRES into useful error messages.  It seems unlikely that's by accident, so perhaps we're never meant to run into that problem and something else is going wrong.

it also occurred on f15-alpha-rc1

Comment 3 James Laska 2011-02-23 11:53:27 UTC 
Sounds like this dialog may go away completely based on the fix for bug#678201 ?

Yes, I think so.
Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2011-02-23 18:30:45 UTC 
Since we should not ever be running into this problem, and were only hitting it because of bug 678201, I'm going to close as NOTABUG.  If you think another resolution is more appropriate, feel free to change it.
