Description Kamil Páral 2014-11-27 10:09:20 UTC
Description of problem:
We have found the problem in bug 1165714 comment 17. It took us quite some time to figure out, that fedorapeople redirects everything to https with this http redirect:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="https://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/1165714_updates.img">here</a>.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.15 Server at vpodzime.fedorapeople.org Port 80</address>
</body></html>

Unfortunately, liveinst calls curl with default options, which does not follow http redirects. On the other hand, dracut handles http redirects, and therefore such an updates.img works with Server images, even when it doesn't work with Workstation images.

The fix in liveinst is really simple. Replace this line:

curl -o /tmp/updates.img $UPDATES

with this line:

curl -L -o /tmp/updates.img $UPDATES

The change should be very safe. This a request for a freeze exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 21.48.16-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to run liveinst --updates=http://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/1165714_updates.img
2. see an error (if you're perceptive, otherwise you simply don't know it was not applied)
3. ponder about it
4. maybe finally realize you need to use https, probably not
