Description of problem: When trying to upgrade a stock FC5 install from FC6 CD or DVD, installation locks up in the screen "Dependency check". A message of "No handlers could be found for logger "yum.YumBase" " appears in text-mode installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Stock FC6 CD or DVD. How reproducible: Try to upgrade a FC5 installation using a stock FC6 CD or DVD Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Upgrade locks up. Expected results: Upgrade should perform normally. Additional info:
I had this happen to me as well, I just left the system alone for about 45 minutes and it fixed its self. Also, beware that if you are upgrading from FC5 to FC6, it will take an extra long time to update (the ETA reached 350 minutes or more).
It happened to me as well. Installation from DVD. When about 75% (after about 3 hours) of my update from FC5 was ready, it just stopped. No messages, just the rotating mouse pointer was there. I waited a further 2 hours and the decided to force a reboot, once again started the installation. This time everything went through. One observation though: Several times during the installation a dependency check with a progress bar is shown. In the last 3(?) times of this window the progress bar remains at zero (=no progress) but nevertheless the installation goes on.
Does it lock up or does it just take a long time?
Thank you for your responses. Indeed, it doesn't lock up, just last painfully long and dirts the screen with the quoted message. However, it seems there *are* some bugs around in anaconda or yum ;-) - see bug #212180 which I also experienced. Regards, Razvan *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 211896 ***
