This is a fatal error and | installation will be aborted. | | DNF error: Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package cppcheck | +--------------- The only option for recovery that I'm given at this point is "Exit Installer". During these installation attempts, I am trying to install as "Development and Creative Workstation", with a number of additional package subgroups selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to use Fedora Server or Fedora Everything netinstall image to install new system. 2. Choose "Development and Creative Workstation" installation. 3. Set other parameters in the installer (disk partitioning, date and time, root password and user setup, etc.) as appropriate for the installation. Actual Results: Installation fails as described above. Expected Results: Installation succeeds and produces a bootable, usable Fedora 33 system.
As additional information, this problem does not occur if I install as "Fedora Workstation", rather than "Development and Creative Workstation", choosing the same sets of additional software to install.
All RPM errors are fatal during the installation (see the bug 1565123). Reassigning.
Thanks for your bug report. I will prepare a new build of cppcheck for F33, based on the current commit in rawhide, which does not use %post anymore. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cppcheck/c/60fb1138096d4ba9158cf9f2278ee133e7dd2028?branch=master
FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d
FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d has been pushed to the Fedora 33 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates.
I've tested this by performing a network install using the Fedora Server 33 netinstall ISO image, in the same way I did before, except that I added the updates-testing repo as an additional repository during the installation. I can confirm that the RPM error on cppcheck during installation no longer occurs.
FEDORA-2020-3c37e5ea7d has been pushed to the Fedora 33 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
