Description of problem:

After a @default install from RATs#3 images (http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/20110721-3/), it seems that generic-release was installed, instead of fedora-release.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * generic-release-16-0.1.noarch
 * fedora-release-16-0.1.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow steps at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Package_Sets_Default_Package_Install
  
Actual results:

# grep release /tmp/install.log 
10:50:57 Installing generic-release-16-0.1.noarch

Expected results:

fedora-release should be installed, not generic-release

Additional info:

According to the yum.log from the install, generic-release is pulled in to satisfy a dependency for initscripts.

/tmp/anaconda.yum.log:[2011-07-22 10:48:44,068] DEBUG   : TSINFO: Marking generic-release-16-0.1.noarch as install for initscripts-9.31-1.fc16.x86_64

# repoquery -q --requires initscripts | grep release
/etc/system-release

# repoquery -q --whatprovides /etc/system-release
generic-release-0:16-0.1.noarch
generic-release-0:16-0.1.noarch
fedora-release-0:16-0.1.noarch
fedora-release-0:16-0.1.noarch

This needs to be fixed for Alpha, I'm not quite certain of any particular release criteria [1] that are impacted by installing the wrong package.  We may choose to update the release criteria for Alpha to note that fedora-release *must* be installed, and not *generic-release*.

I checked the live composes, and they have the same issue - generic-release is pulled instead of fedora-release. however, the same is *not* true of -logos and -release-notes. so you get generic-release, fedora-logos and fedora-release-notes. never seen that before. can't tell exactly why at present.

Discussed at the 2011-07-22 blocker bug review meeting. Accepted as NTH for Fedora 16 alpha but waiting to find out if the Fedora 16 artwork will be affected as well.

Accepted NTH, will revisit alpha blocker once we have more information.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2011-07-25 14:57:55 UTC
Didn't this end up getting fixed in one of the -release packages?

I *think* it was supposed to be fixed by the update generic-release-16-0.2 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=255100).  The thinking was that because generic-release had fewer dependencies than fedora-release, it was selected for install.

I can confirm that the addition of generic-release-16.0.2.  Let's move this to VERIFIED once we have someone other than me confirming.

Fixing whiteboard to match earlier decision

Discussed in the 2011-07-29 blocker review meeting. A fix for this has been verified in a custom boot.iso but waiting for verification on TC1 before closing.

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2011-08-04 00:53:50 UTC
Confirmed TC1 DVD image has fedora-release and no generic-release package, closing.
