Description of problem: I've burned the boot.iso from today's rawhide (F9RC1) and booted up to do a network install. I accidentally entered http://mirrors.kernels.org/fedora/development/i386/os/, so fetching repodata failed and I requested to edit the repo file. I fixed the typo as well as changed i386 to x86_64 like this: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/i386/os/. An error then appeared saying "Fedora-20080507-repo.x86_64 could not be found" (filename may not be exactly correct, but it was something along those lines with x86_64 at the end) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20080507 rawhide: 11.4.0.82-1.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: I didn't test it more than once, but the "retry" button presented the error consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a network install from boot.iso 2. Enter a typo in the hostname and/or path and use a "would-be" path for i386 3. Correct the typo and switch to a x86_64 repo path Actual results: Repository file not found, installer exits Expected results: Repository file is not found, install continues Additional info: I'm assuming if Anaconda places arches in repo filename, it just needs to rename the original file ending in .i386 to .x86_64 and then change the baseurl= according to the user's input.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Can you attach /tmp/anaconda.log to this bug report? Thanks.
I tried to reproduce the bug but it wanted to partition before I could access the repo configuration page, so I'll get back to you later once I have a machine with a spare drive/partition.
Closing this. If you reproduce the bug, please reopen and attach anaconda.log
