It doesn't seem to like your release string, even though what you posted in comment 2 looks fine: 16:09:43,457 INFO storage: product None, version None, arch x86_64 found on penguin_vg-root is not upgradable 16:09:43,457 DEBUG storage: test results: {'product': False, 'version': False, 'arch': True} I think I found the problem/bug. I have a real file: /etc/fedora-release containing: Fedora release 16 (Verne) I have a symlink pointing to it via a relative path: /etc/system-release -> fedora-release I have another symlink pointing to that symlink, using an absolute path: /etc/redhat-release -> /etc/system-release When anaconda runs from the DVD the absolute path doesn't really point to my fedora-release file. I changed system-release to point directly/relatively to fedora-release and now anaconda finds my system and wants to updated. I'm pretty sure I didn't create or mess with any of the files above, and they are just as created by my initial install and yum upgraded systems ... Just looked at my two remaining F16 systems, besides the one where I saw this problem, and in them both /etc/system-release and /etc/redhat-release are symlinks pointing to fedora-release (relative), so the problem existed on only one of my machines. Really points to some local misconfiguration or one-shot bug. Not much we can do about that here/now. *** Bug 887494 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Seems like Sandro (comment 12 here, and bug 887494) ran into the same problem, so now we have two people which had the same local misconfiguration, or, most likely, the result of a previous upgrade, as I'm pretty sure I never touched those files. Probably a moot problem by now, unless someone runs into going from f71 to f18. |
