Description of problem:
During an upgrade from RedHat 8.0 the installer shut down in the
"Preparing RPM Transaction" phase (or shortly thereafter). The upgrade
was performed using a boot floppy and an NFS install.

The error message before shutting down was:

error reading information on service linuxconf: No such file or directory


When booting into the old RedHat 8 system, it turned out that the
installed linuxconf-1.25r7-3 RPM package (a leftover from some older
RedHat?) could not be removed unless giving the --nopreun option.

After successfuly removing the linuxconf package with "rpm -e
--nopreun", the error disappeared and Fedora could be installed
successfully.

I saw exactly the same thing. Removed all vestiges of linuxconf and
then a subsequent upgrade completed without incident.
