From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: After applying latest up2date to ES3 Update 2 and merging them to the tree, installations made will fail to run in graphical mode with X start error. In /tmp/X.log there is a message about missing liblaus.so.1 library. Comps.xml doesn't include laus-libs package at all, so probably buildinstall won't extract the required file from laus-libs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.1.2-2.RHEL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ES Update 2 2. Up2date to latest packages. 3. Rebuild installer with buildinstall. 4. Try to install. Actual Results: Graphical installation failed, VESA driver not loaded, dropped down to text mode. Expected Results: Graphical installation mode. Additional info:
Another small thing - this is what /usr/share/anaconda/anaconda.conf reads in stable version. TitleBar pixmaps/anaconda_header.png Title Red Hat Linux Beta helptag ent
This isn't supported. A newer laus has been released since the U2 spin of trees which splits laus into having a laus-libs package which then also needs to be pulled into PACKAGES in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/upd-instroot.
As far as I know buildinstall runs upd-instroot within itself, so exactly no laus-libs package included there, that's the reason why it failed. Can't you just add it to the stable tree, so updates will go smoother.
I added it there, but that doesn't help the currently released packages much since I'm not psychic :-)
