Here's an example of one of the messages I'm seeing. This popped up at the bottom of the screen during the "Package Installation" phase: warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') /usr/lib/python2.6/sets.py:85: DeprecationWarning: functions overriding warnings.showwarning() must support the 'line'argument stacklevel=2)
The interface for text mode has been almost completely redone. Could you retest and let us know if you still see the messages?
With no contradictory evidence, this seems to have been fixed in rawhide. Please reopen if you run into the same problem again.
