It looks like something could be messed up with the RPM database on the installed system. Can you boot into your system and attach the output of 'rpm -qa'?
Created attachment 19556 [details] output from 'rpm -qa' -- looks ok though, no complaints from rpm and so forth.
I don't know what the problem is. I haven't seen any other reports like this. It looks like it's having some problem with licq, but I don't know what's causing the problem. By looking at the code from todo.py: try: h = self.hdList[reqname].h except KeyError: conflicts = 0 installed = ("", h[rpm.RPMTAG_VERSION], h [rpm.RPMTAG_RELEASE]) if rpm.labelCompare (installed, needed) >= 0: conflicts = 0 The problem is that if the "try" fails, we try to reference "h" after the except, and "h" is invalid.
I'm seeing a crash in the same spot when installing from CD. I've attached my anaconda dump as well.

anders, just to be sure, can you boot into your installed system and run 'rpm --rebuilddb' and then try the upgrade?
