From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.10 i686)

Description of problem:
Wanted to upgrade from RH7.1 to 7.2.  Choose to upgraded via nfs, selected
options and packages to install.  Was about to start downloading packages
when a error box popped up saying "unexpected exception".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
Can't reproduce.

Now when attempting the upgrade w/ exact same options selected returns
"unable to rebuild rpm database error - might be low on disk space".  After
that error message installer quits and reboots system.

All local partitions(double checked) and nfs mount have plenty of free
space.

Additional info:

Saved dump message.

I think your RPM database may be having problems on your 7.1 system.  Can you
boot into it and run 'rpm --rebuilddb', then try the upgrade?  Does that help?
