From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Used anaconda to build fairly minimal FC2 system on disk. Verified it works, dual-boot, etc. Run system-config-packages to beef it up to workstation level. After quite a few CD swaps (subject of another bug, certainly) I begin getting errors that CD #1 could not be mounted. Repeated remounts don't help, and ls /mnt/cdrom indicates that disk 1 is there and just fine. The package being installed is jakarta-regexp-1.2-15.i386.rpm, and I can see this file in the RPMS directory. At this point, I'm realizing it's not a CD problem, but "something else". After giving up and cancelling, I notice a number of error messages in the shell that was running system-config-packages, e.g. /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24935: line 2: /usr/sbin/javaconfig: No such file or directory error: %post(ant-core-1.5.2-26) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40236: line 2: /usr/sbin/javaconfig: No such file or directory error: %post(bcel-5.0-13) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.94863: line 2: /usr/sbin/javaconfig: No such file or directory error: %post(commons-logging-1.0.2-15) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.51649: line 2: /usr/sbin/javaconfig: No such file or directory error: %post(jaf-20030319-4) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 My assumption is that you have some bugs here: 1. For some reason, the collection of packages I've installed is not properly creating the directory /usr/sbin/javaconf, and this is is causing certain packages to fail to install. 2. The bug is either misreported, or misinterpreted, such that you're generating a bogus error message. Obviously, my CD is fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a minimal installation 2. Run system-config-packages and add a bunch of worstation tools 3. Swap disks for a while, until error pops up Additional info:
The first is due to bugs in packages... for the second, are there any errors on the console related to ounting and unmounting cds?
I was able to reproduce the problem by removing and reinstalling "ant" from my FC2 CD's. There were no messages re mounting or unmounting.

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.
I was unable to reproduce this in FC3 because I could not locate 'ant' or 'jakarta' when I ran system-config-packages. If they have been removed from FC3, then this bug is no longer reproducible. If they are there but I just couldn't find them, I will be happy to try again.
Yeah, they're gone.
