The following error occurred using the original v7.0 and lastest update (update-disk-20001009.img) of the anaconda installer while trying to update version 6.2 to version 7.0: (This is the output of the anacdump.txt file) The errors appear to be similiar to but not exactly the same as bug# 18876,19137,19234,19346 Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1028, in run rc = apply (step[1](), (dir,) + step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 279, in __call__ todo.upgradeFindPackages (root) File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 941, in upgradeFindPackages self.getCompsList () File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 539, in getCompsList self.comps = self.method.readComps(self.hdList) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 16, in readComps return ComponentSet(self.tree + '/RedHat/base/comps', hdlist) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 459, in __init__ self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages, arch, matchAllLang) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 428, in readCompsFile comp.addPackage(packages[l]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 101, in __getitem__ return self.packages[item] KeyError: MAKEDEV Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderListFromFile instance at 8229e60> item: MAKEDEV ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
If you burned this CD image yourself make sure the ISO you downloaded matches the md5sum given on the ftp site. Most likely you have a bad CD.
This error was first experienced with the deluxe retail package for v7. The update was attempted again using the new anaconda update image 20001009. I do not believe this to be a corrupt image problem, unless it was corrupt on the v7 retail package. Has there been any reported image problems?
I do not know of any issues - this error occurs when the MAKEDEV package does not exist on the CD, or it could not be read. That points at either a media error, or a problem with the CDROM drive. You may want to consider getting replacement CDs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18031 ***
