Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 13.21.149
spacewalk 1.7

How reproducible:
100%



Steps to Reproduce:
1.build a channel in spacewalk
2.copy repo metadata into distribution image
3.kickstart a machine
  
Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 221, in callback
    self.progress.set_fraction(float(self.doneSize / self.totalSize))

Expected results:
Kickstart correctly

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2012-05-21 22:14:13 UTC
The primary error here is spacewalk bug 712313, but we really should catch the /0 and just not update the progress bar when we don't have a totalSize.

Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2013-01-17 10:30:09 UTC
The root cause of this issue seems to be primary.xml.gz containing installed="". 


So I'm trying to reproduce: 


1) Create a custom repo
2) Manually edit primary.xml.gz and make sure installed=""
3) createrepo --update .
4) Point anaconda to the repo and install packages from it.


Results:
all packages from my custom repo (which have installed="") were installed and no error was triggered. This was with RHEL 6.3. I can't reproduce.


Rob,
can you try and reproduce outside Satellite?

Comment 7 Jan Stodola 2013-01-18 12:46:01 UTC
Reproduced on RHEL-6.3, primary.xml.gz modified to have installed="" for all packages in the installation repository. I'm going to verify on RHEL-6.4.

Comment 8 Jan Stodola 2013-01-18 13:27:17 UTC
OK, retested using compose RHEL6.4-20130116.3 with anaconda-13.21.194-1.el6.
Installation finished without any traceback, progress bar was not updated during the install, the number of installed packages showed correct number during the install.
Tested both manual graphical and kickstart installation in text mode.

Moving to VERIFIED.
