Blocker nomination apparently didn't really happen: doing it.

Thanks. I can only add blockers to bugs I created, so I CC'ed you ... :-)

Obviously there are better translations on live images than on DVD's.

Patch posted to anaconda-patches.

Thanks.

The DVD could be a missing translation file:

Comment 20 Kamil Páral 2012-12-20 10:31:42 UTC
We need Live to verify this. Waiting for TC4. Setting back to ON_QA.

Comment 21 Adam Williamson 2012-12-20 21:17:47 UTC
you don't need to wait for a compose. Just boot TC3 and yum update anaconda before running it.

Comment 22 Steve Tyler 2012-12-20 21:56:34 UTC
Or if you can't wait for the build to show up in a repo and enjoy typing: :-)
# yum -y install koji
# koji download-build --arch=x86_64 373778
# yum -y update *.rpm

I paste this info into a gedit window next to my VM window, so that I don't have to remember the build id:
Information for build anaconda-18.37.5-1.fc18

Comment 23 Adam Williamson 2012-12-21 03:26:10 UTC
I tested the fix for this, it works. Reproduced the crash with 18.37.3 and it goes away with 18.37.4.
