Description Manuel "Chilli" Chakravarty 2000-10-03 06:57:51 UTC
In the dialog that allows to add/delete/edit user accounts that should be
set up during the installation, when the list of user accounts is _empty_,
selecting "Delete" crashes the installer.

The following is the relevant part of the dump written by Python after the
crash:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in
run
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/textw/userauth_text.py",
line 213, in __call__
  File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/snack.py", line 87, in current
    return self.key2item[self.w.listboxGetCurrent()]
KeyError: 0

Brent verify, and if present please correct.

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-03 19:17:44 UTC
This is in TUI btw.

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2000-10-05 22:41:01 UTC
I have verified this.  When in text mode, the installer crashes if you activate
the "Delete" button when there are no user accounts in the list.  Also, it
crashes if you activate "Edit" on an empty list as well.  I'm working on a fix
right now.  I've changed the priority to high.

File anaconda/textw/user_auth.py version 1.13.
Fixed in CVS.  Needs to be tested.

Comment 5 Brock Organ 2000-11-13 19:39:42 UTC
verified fix in internal testing (qa1113.0)...
