I would like to add that I tried to install using the updated images on the errata, plus using the updates image. I used rawrite to create both disks. But, I still get this error. Are there any files in the RedHat/RPMS directory on your hard disk that are not RPM packages? If there are (I suspect a TRANS.TBL or ls-lR file), try removing them. I'm sorry I haven't answered in quite a while. You were right, it was a file in the RPMS directory that caused it to give me that error. I thank you for your help. Thanks for following up on this. I'm going to tag this bug as resolved. |
I have downloaded RedHat 6.1 from ftp to my hard drive (my second partition hda5), and after I boot from the floppy I made, and after picking the language, install type, etc., I get to where it says it's Reading package information. After just a little bit, I get an Exception Occured window that says: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/tmp/lib/python1-5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "' '", line 468, in __call__ todo.getCompsList() File "' '/todo.py", line 942, in getCompsList self.getHeaderList() File "' '/todo.py", line 930, in getHeaderList self.method.readHeaders() File "' '/harddrive.py", line 46, in readHeaders return HeaderList(hl) File "' '/comps.py", line 50, in __init__ name = h[rpm.RPMTAG_NAME] TypeError: unsubscriptable object Can anybody tell me what this means, and how I can get this to install? After this, it says to restart my computer. PS: Also, it sometimes hangs at the Welcome screen. It does this more often than I'd like, but it doesn't do it all the time.
