Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Each time. Steps to Reproduce: I am having trouble with the installer in Fedora. When I blow away the hard drive partitions on my system and do an install from nothing everything works well and SQL-server will install. But if I make a mistake (rm a SQL-server file) OOPS the application remove / install application will not work properly. I have tried to uninstall all of SQL-server and then shutdown & reboot the system to try and reinstall the SQL-server applications as well as not shutting down and trying to upgrade / reinstall SQL- server. The call for CD 1 works fine but after the call for CD 3 the application fails. Tells me it is unable to complete the upgrade. I donât think it is a problem with my CDs because the install from scratch works. Has any one else reported this problem? Actual results: Have to install from clean drive. Expected results: Additional info: I have very little experience with Linux. Trying to learn.
SQL-server? The only software I know by that name is Microsoft's, and it certainly doesn't run on Linux. Please be more specific about what you did and what problems you're having. (A more general thought is that you can't remove critical files unless you are running as "root". It's a good idea to keep your use of root privileges to a bare minimum, especially when you're learning.)
Tom: I'm guessing that he means the "SQL Database Server" package group in redhat-config-packages. Perhaps this should be a redhat-config-packages bug?
This does sound like a redhat(system)-config-packages issue. It's a bit hard to tell from the comment, though. Note that FC1 and FC2 are not even supported by Fedora Legacy anymore. If the original reporter still has this problem with a recent Fedora Core release, please reopen and set the version.
