Missing packages in x86_64 DVD
Last modified: 2008-08-06 16:44:48 EDT
Description of problem: There are missing packages in the x86_64 DVD for FC8. The DVD checks out fine, so I don't think it's an issue with my DVD. I tried installing twice, opting to chose to select the packages details during installation rather than afterward (another fiasco if that's chosen - another Bugzilla). The first time, I chose to add some legacy libraries development & software support. Part way through, the installer complains about the not finding (excuse any typos) "glibc-devel-2.7-2.86_64.rpm". I had no choice but to reset at that point. After reboot, I selected the packages again, but leaving off legacy support. This time it pukes on "oprofile-gui-0.9.3-6fc8.x86_64.rpm". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 8 How reproducible: Install the software, but chose to select package details prior to installation. When selecting package details, chose legacy support. That -should- pick up the error concerning glibc. I don't know what package I selected to pick up oprofile-gui. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start install, but chose to select package details prior to installation. 2. When selecting package details, chose legacy support. 3. Continue the install. Actual results: Failed installation. Must reboot. Major frowny face. Expected results: Good installation. Smiley face. Additional info:
Another point - the packages -are- there if you look at the DVD, but for some odd reason they're not being picked up.
Did you verify your media?
Yes, I ran the media check before starting the install. Also, I noticed this problem only occurs if I chose "Fedora Extras" (or whatever the option is just before you can select package details). If I do not chose "Fedora Extras", everything seems to go OK.
Are you able to reproduce this bug in Fedora 9?
