Can you reliably reproduce this?
"need more than 0 values to unpack"? That's strange, isn't it? I'd assume it would be one value - the exception instance. But maybe my understanding of exception handling is incomplete. Anyway, here's a suggested patch for execWithRedirect: diff --git a/iutil.py b/iutil.py index 0d7faed..7d354b7 100644 --- a/iutil.py +++ b/iutil.py @@ -103,8 +103,8 @@ def execWithRedirect(command, argv, stdin = None, stdout = None, if proc.returncode is not None: ret = proc.returncode break - except OSError, (errno, msg): - errstr = "Error running %s: %s" % (command, msg) + except OSError, e: + errstr = "Error running %s: %s" % (command, e.strerror) log.error(errstr) runningLog.write(errstr) runningLog.close() Haven't tried to reproduce yet - restarting the install now.
Hrm. Can't reproduce so far. Might be some kind of unreliable race with udevadm or something? Or maybe I just got a bad image? Who knows. I'll keep trying.
Well, I've pushed your patch above for all places where we catch OSError. I did the same thing in rhpl a little while back and haven't seen any new complaints. Hopefully this will take care of it.
