Description Tom London 2004-05-19 21:13:58 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

Description of problem:
I'm attempting to 'upgrade' a FC2T3 to FC2 using the downloaded (and
verified) FC2 CD images, entering 'selinux' at the boot prompt.

anaconda fails, both when attemping to 'upgrade existing' and with a
fresh install (I tried to reuse the existing partitions).

Here is the traceback info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1048, in handleRenderCallback
    self.currentWindow.renderCallback()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 242, in renderCallback
    self.intf.icw.nextClicked()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 763, in nextClicked
    self.dispatch.gotoNext()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep
    rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 737, in doPreInstall
    os.mkdir(instPath + "/selinux")
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/mnt/sysimage/selinux'

I attach the complete 'anacdump.txt' as well.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using FC2 CDs, attempt to install over existing FC3T3/selinux
system (enter 'selinux' at anaconda prompt).
2. Select either 'upgrade' or 'install'
3. If 'install' retain existing partitions (I haven't tried a complete
wipe out of the drive).
    

Actual Results:  Anaconda abort message described above, with options
to save to floppy. File 'anacdump.txt' attached.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-05-19 22:48:26 EDT

Upgrades from test releases to final releases aren't supported... 
I'll look at this eventually, though, as it will affect FC2 with
SELinux -> FC3 upgrades.

Comment 3 Tom London 2004-05-19 23:21:13 EDT

OK. I'll do the 'wipe it clean' thing.

Before I clobber this, is there any additional information, settings,
etc. that would help you?

Comment 4 Tom London 2004-07-14 10:12:03 EDT

Hit this bug again going from FC2 -> FC3t1.

I'm guessing 'anaconda' needs to remove /selinux 
if it already exists prior to doing its usual
'thing'.

Comment 5 Phil Schaffner 2004-07-27 12:42:15 EDT

Also seeing this bug on FC2 -> FC3T1 upgrade attempt.  Repeated
attempts to save traceback to floppy failed (thought I saw this
flagged as fixed in rawhide), but looks very much like the one in the
attachment above.  FC2 was running with selinux disabled.
