Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): preupgrade-0.9.3-2.fc8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to preupgrade to a new Fedora release on release day 2. Experience heavy mirror load Actual results: A traceback and then UI stops progressing through the preupgrade steps Expected results: Preupgrade retries all downloads until it succeeds, while displaying a download attempt counter so the user knows what's going on. Additional info:
apparently this was the result of bug #446244, so preupgrade correctly determined that none of the mirrors in the mirrorlist actually had a .treeinfo, but the resulting lack of information from the UI is still a problem
Correct, and bug #446244 should be fixed in a new preupgrade package that's currently building. Still need to improve the UI for this error condition though.
In preupgrade-0.9.8 we pop up an error dialog with "Retry" and "Quit" buttons.
