Description of problem: When installing Fedora 9 (Rawhide) over the net, if you use a mirror thats missing an RPM (in this case gnome-backgrounds was missing). The 'Starting install process' screen hangs indefinitely, Anaconda doesn't notify you there's any missing RPMs other than in the console vt output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11.0.4.82-1 How reproducible: Depends on mirror if it is fully sync'd or not. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pop in CD, do select URI put in a mirror 2. Finish partitioning, package selection, click next 3. Wait... Actual results: Anaconda doesn't see to timeout or prompt for another mirror to try. Expected results: Anaconda should alert user the mirror they used is 'bad' and that they should pick another/type another mirror and retry fetching packages/install components. Additional info: The mirror used was fedora.mirror.iweb.ca using development/i386/os This sort of failure doesn't make for a good user experience when installing Fedora. Hence medium priority/severity level.
Can you attach /tmp/anaconda.log from when it's sitting there hung to this bug report? Thanks.
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
Closing. I can't reproduce. Assuming I ever see this again Anaconda will look different anyway :-)
