Comment 1 Matthew Nicholson 2008-09-10 19:57:34 UTC
I second this. Both with gui (preupgrade) and cli (preupgrade-cli)

Comment 2 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2008-09-14 12:35:26 UTC
I get the same traceback from the GUI (preupgrade-0.9.3-3.fc9.noarch)... retrying with the latest from the BZR repo...

Comment 3 Will Woods 2008-09-15 17:45:10 UTC
This will only happen if you're attempting to preupgrade to a tree that's got missing (or invalid) .treeinfo. So you're using a bad tree/mirror. You'll want to check on that.

I've added a check in the current bzr tree (rev 189) to make sure we handle this error properly. You should get a more useful error message if this happens in the future.

Comment 5 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2008-09-17 16:47:10 UTC
Is it possible to retry then against another mirror?

Perhaps fall back to the official one 
( http://download.fedoraproject.org/ )?

Comment 6 Zach Carter 2008-09-18 21:21:52 UTC
I have the same issue.   I tried pointing yum directly at download.fedoraproject.org, and got the same error again.  Is there a better workaround?

Comment 7 Jesse Brandeburg 2008-09-27 18:15:34 UTC
also occurs when using mirrors.kernel.org, upgrading from F9 to rawhide using rawhide version of preupgrade.  Probably just rawhide broken?

I don't see any obvious way to change the mirror that anaconda-preupgrade: uses.

Download packages?

The metadata has changed somewhat since Fedora 9; this is handled in preupgrade-0.9.8 (which is available in updates-testing.)

Comment 13 Devan Goodwin 2008-11-09 20:36:03 UTC
Using preupgrade 0.9.9 build obtained directly from Koji, I got past this issue.

Comment 14 Răzvan Sandu 2008-11-19 08:47:29 UTC
On November 18, 2008, I've took a Fedora 9 system and tried to upgrade it to Fedora 10 (rawhide) via preupgrade.

All F9 online updates were applied prior of upgrading.

First phase (downloading) went OK, even it was very slow (there are no rawhide mirrors listed for Romania).

After reboot, I've got stuck in a (non-functional) grub prompt; I've used a F9 rescue disk to reinstall grub.

After that, upgrade completed OK.


(In the last months, I've frequently hit the situation in which a F9 system goes in a grub prompt after online updates, needing grub reinstall with a rescue disk. IMHO, this is not a preupgrade matter, since I was doing regular online updates, via yum, inside the *same version* of the distro - no preupgrade involved. Is this a grub matter ?)


Regards,
Răzvan
