From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040327 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: If I use "Add or Remove Packages" - redhat-config-packages to install some software, and I need to change CDs, after changing CDs "Add or Remove Packages" bails out. (If I after that re-run "Add or Remove Packages" and choose that same package again, this time with the right CD in the drive from the start, it works.) It seems that it could possibly be related to me having two CD/DVD-drives in the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have the wrong CD in the drive. 2. Run redhat-config-packages 3. Choose to install something. 4. Insert the correct CD when prompted. Actual Results: It pops up an error dialog saying "Error installing packages There was an error installing packages. Exiting." And in the terminal it prints (for example): "The file /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/units-1.80-8.i386.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a bad package, or bad media. Press <return> to try again." It has the RHEL CD mounted on /mnt/cdrom1 and another CD in my other drive mounted on /mnt/cdrom. Before running redhat-config-packages no CDs were mounted. If I rerun redhat-config-packages after this happens it will install the package. Expected Results: It should have installed the package at /mnt/cdrom1/RedHat/RPMS/units-1.80-8.i386.rpm. Additional info: I have noticed that if I do it "the same way but opposite", ie have the unrelated CD in cdrom1 and the RHEL CDs in cdrom, it seems to work after changing CDs. So it seems only to happen when the second CDROM drive is used.
Later releases should handle multiple CD drives better
