Description of problem: Trying to run fedup on F20 XFCE: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.1-1.fc20 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedup --network 21 --product=nonproduct 2. 3. Actual results: Lots of packages downloaded (as expected) -- but afterwards, terminal output is filled with errors "cpio: Malformed number <binary data>" Terminal prompt is sometimes mangled due to binary data output (easily fixed with "reset") Upgrade does not continue Expected results: Upgrade should proceed or some sane error should be printed to user. Additional info: This may be related to my compress=lzo setting in /etc/dracut.conf.d/kostya.conf
note: suspicion confirmed by setting dracut compress option to default (gzip) and running dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname-r).img $(uname -r)
Ah, yep - fedup didn't know about lzo-compressed files. This commit should fix that: https://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/commit/a0cf1f7 As you discovered, you can work around this for now by changing dracut's compression option to something supported by fedup (gzip, bzip2, xz, or lz4) and re-generating your initramfs. If anyone else hits this bug, you could try the fix by adding the line from that commit to your /usr/lib*/python2.7/site-packages/fedup/util.py. Otherwise this should be fixed in the next fedup update.
