Description Jan Rychter 2004-05-18 05:48:38 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

Description of problem:
When running the system-config-packages utility to add packages to the
system, I get the following problem with some packages:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-packages/GroupDetails.py", line 171,
in renderer_toggled
    self.component.selectPackage(package.nevra())
  File "/usr/share/system-config-packages/GroupSet.py", line 794, in
selectPackage
    pkg = self.packages[pkgnevra]
KeyError: 'xemacs-0:21.4.15-5.i386'

The result is that I cannot change the state of the checkbox.

I have emacs installed and I wanted to install xemacs instead.
This happens when selecting xemacs or emacs. I haven't tried other
packages.

The system has been upgraded from FC2-test3 to FC2.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-packages-1.2.12-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run system-config-packages
2. click Editors
3. click Emacs or XEmacs
    

Actual Results:  nothing was selected and I got the traceback above

Expected Results:  checkboxes should have changed state

I have got the same experience by using the system-config-packages 
with the Fedora Core 2, but without any error as described above.

It is *just* impossible to select xemacs in the editors list ... .

I expirienced the same thing trying to install ruby
(Development/Development Tools/ruby)

I installed Fedora Core 2.B (from the (german) RedHat-Magazine DVD).

Comment 3 Peter van Egdom 2004-11-14 08:52:26 UTC
A similar problem also happens with FC3. When using
"system-config-packages" to uninstall Emacs, the following traceback
appears :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-packages/GroupDetails.py", line 170,
in renderer_toggled
    self.component.unselectPackage(package.nevra())
  File "/usr/share/system-config-packages/GroupSet.py", line 841, in
unselectPackage
    pkg = self.packages[pkgnevra]
KeyError: 'emacs-0:21.3-17.i386'

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 15:08:03 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 5 Marius Andreiana 2005-08-19 20:58:16 UTC
Does FC4 work for you?

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2005-09-21 19:14:48 UTC
Closing as resolved in current releases
