From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-0.37 i686) Description of problem: While installing packages, the installer could not read one package RPM. It stops and complains that it can't open the file and the dialog box has only an OK-button. There is no way of correcting the problem (exchanging the CD or skipping the package). At least no obvious way or anything described in the installation guide. The only way of getting out is to kill the installation with CTRL-ALT-DEL or from the other consoles. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a CD-ROM made from ISO-images and a CD-reader that doesn't work perfectly together. 2. Select a package that the installer can't read the proper file for, from the CD 3. Wait until the installer tries to install the RPM. Actual Results: Installation terminated prematurely with messed up filesystems and an unbootable system. Solution is (hopefully, because I'm doing it right now) to transfer the ISO-images to the HD and doing a HD install. Expected Results: The dialog box should present the problem and ask: 1. Try the same file again? 2. Try another location (eject the CD and try another one, or HD)? 3. Skip this package and continue? Additional info:
Skipping the package could be a potentially very bad idea. We don't provide that option because we don't know what other packages may require that one. If the package in question was glibc or the kernel, the system would be unbootable. I would recommend redownloading the ISOs and trying again.
