Description of Problem: While doing an upgrade from 7.2 anaconda exists and dumps a log file. The dump file reveals that anaconda cannot create the file /mnt/sourceimage/root/update.log because directory /mnt/sourceimage/root doesn't exist. This is because the home directory for root (/root) on my system is an absolution symbolic link to another directory. Seems to me that anaconda should check to see if root exists and that it is a directory. If not, it should warn the user and suggest an alternate directory for the update.log file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Redhat 7.3 anaconda. How Reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On system to upgrade, move '/root' directory to a new location. 2. Build an absolution symbolic link from the new directory to '/root' 3. Load 7.3 install CD and Reboot system 4. Select Upgrade. Actual Results: Anaconda exits with the error /mn/sourceimage/root/update.log no such file or directory. Expected Results: Redhat 7.3 installs prompts for a location to put the update.log file and then creates this location, and continues with the installation. Additional Information:
