Had a comparable anaconda crash
got around it by deselecting pygtk package in the language package section and
choosing not to install any depending packages

Comment 2 David Lash 2002-02-25 03:37:09 UTC
Had a similar crash during package installation as follows:
Traceback(innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 620 in ? intf.run
(id,dispatch,configFileData)
File "/usr/bin/anaconca/text.py", line 408, in run dispatch.gotoNext()

appears to be the same situation but in text mode rather than gui installation. 
This was  a "server" install, no individual packages selected or deselected

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-03-05 19:49:06 UTC
I've experienced the exact same crash trying to install Version 7.2  Reported 
as bug #60737

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2002-03-06 22:12:33 UTC

Comment 5 Matt Wilson 2002-03-12 21:53:58 UTC
lacha.ac.be, your traceback doesn't have anything to do with this bug.

abe, did you modify any CD image?  Did you burn ISOs onto CD-R or
CD-RW media?


Comment 6 Need Real Name 2002-03-12 22:07:23 UTC
I burned the ISO image on a CD-RW, i made no changes to the image, the MD5 
checksum is correct.

Comment 7 Matt Wilson 2002-03-12 22:37:06 UTC
Please burn the ISO images on new CD-RWs or CD-Rs and re-test.  This type of
error is normally caused by bad CD images.
