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. Additional info:
Created attachment 100364 [details] Anaconda dump/traceback info written to floppy....
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.
OK. I'll do the 'wipe it clean' thing. Before I clobber this, is there any additional information, settings, etc. that would help you?
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'.
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.
