Description John Guthrie 2008-01-30 03:47:14 UTC
Description of problem:Every time that I try to upgrade one of my machines from
fc6 to f8, I get the error 'adding package to transaction failed'.  This is
performing a network install using HTTP.

I am attaching the dump file from the debugging window below

How reproducible:
EVery time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Turn off machine
2.Place Fedora 8 rescue CD in CD tray
3.Turn on machine
4.Boot to Fedora 8 installation
5.Select HTTP as installation method
6.Select upgrade mode
7.Configure new boot loader
8.Watch anaconda spin for a long time to generate dependencies
9.Watch anaconda barf when it starts the install.
  
Actual results:
The installation terminates with the above error.

Does the package kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i686.rpm exist on your HTTP installation
source?

Comment 3 John Guthrie 2008-04-12 09:39:08 UTC
No.  Actually, I have kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8.i686.rpm.

Thanks.
