Description Jeff Law 2006-12-11 19:04:51 UTC
Description of problem:
Using a kickstart file which includes a "repo" specification as well as
specifying a package found in that extra repository will work once, but will
fail the second time.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Run anaconda twice with the attached kickstart file.  Replace /mnt/FC6media with
a path to a mounted ISO image of FC6 (of course).

  
anaconda -G -m nfs://mnt/FC6media --rootpath /tmp/anacondatest 
--kickstart=test.cfg
anaconda -G -m nfs://mnt/FC6media --rootpath /tmp/anacondatest2 --kickstart=test.cfg

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Second anaconda command will fail, complaining that the "facter" rpm is missing
or damanged.  There is nothing wong with the "facter" RPM.  If you look closely
(via strace), you'll see the second anaconda instance requests the "facter" RPM
from the specific repository.  However, it uses a byte range which is outside
the size of the "facter" RPM.


Expected results:
You should get two clean FC6 installs.  Once into /tmp/anacondatest the other
into /tmp/anacondatest2.

Is this still a problem with F8?

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
