Description of problem: Sorry for not saving the stack trace, but basically there was a command that did a shutil.move( anaconda.root + "/etc/rpm/platform", anaconda.root + "/etc/rpm/platform.rpmsave") The command failed because shutil was not defined for some reason. Move /etc/rpm/platform to /etc/rpm/platform.rpmsave manually and then retrying the install process got me further to another slew of bugs. That will be in my next bugzilla Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Downloaded rawhide this morning on 08/24/09 EST. Used the preupgrade command to copy an install.img locally to my disk (no preupgrade didn't succeed either, yet another bug, but I was able to boot manually into everything). How reproducible: reliably Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Thanks, this will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.

Great - a fix is in the works! Is there a workaround so we can get F11 Alpha installed and start testing instead of waiting for the Beta? Why does it happen to us and not other people?
I just tried upgrading a Fedora 8 box to Rawhide having seen this bug report, using preupgrade. It failed with the same error as when I tried upgrading to Fedora 11: Generating metadata for preupgrade repo preupgrade | 2.5 kB 00:00 preupgrade/primary_db | 1.9 MB 00:00 preupgrade/group | 1.4 MB 00:00 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-cli.py", line 305, in <module> pu.main(myrelease) File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-cli.py", line 270, in main self.generate_repo(cachedir, comps) # TODO: callback?
