When choosing to upgrade the install fails while attempting to find packages to upgrade. The error message, more or less, is as follows: File "/usr/bin/anaconda" line 342 in ? inff.run(todo, test = test) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1163, in run rc = apply(step[1], (dir,) + step[2], File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 317, in __call__ todo.upgradeFilePackages(root) in File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 730 packages = rpm.findUpgradeSet If there was some way to tell which package it was choking on I'd jusr remove that package. I tried rpm --rebuilddb and that didn't make any difference.
This message is generally a result of the root partition not getting mounted during the upgrade. Do me a favor and send me the output of "fdisk -l" for all of the drives on the system. In addition, please submit a copy of your /etc/fstab file.
Same here. This is a sparc (SS10), RH6.1 upgrade to 6.2. Problem is in anaconda, fstab.py. UFS partitions (or anything not "ext2" nor "swap") are _ignored_. Problem is, only the root partition is ext2. Others are UFS and NFS. Namely, /var/lib/rpm/ lives in UFS... There are some lines of interest commented out. Line 520: "# XXX code from sparc merge". I guess we sparc users were left out...
Do you happen to have any symlinks for directories like /tmp, /home, etc?
I am unable to reproduce this behavior in test here ... please reopen if you are having this problem with 7 ... thanks for your report!
