Description Telsa Gwynne 2002-11-26 17:05:02 UTC
Description of Problem:

CDs burned and worked on various machines. Stuffed them into a
machine with a more picky drive (DVD drive, not CD drive). Twice
IO errors have crashed anaconda completely. In at least one case,
had it just skipped the package I think there would have been no
untoward consequences.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
anaconda from GinGin beta1

How Reproducible: seems reasonably so.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Burn CDs. Put big scratch on one :) (or something)
2. Use a DVD drive instead of a CD drive. 
3. Install lots. Wait for anaconda to crash.

Actual Results: Traceback and aborted installation. 
Expected Results: Complaint and option to attempt to continue or exit. 

Additional Information:
	
Apparently the relevant line from the traceback is

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/pack.py ", line 333
  cb UnboundLocalError: local variable
  'fn' referenced before assignment.

If this is not enough,  I am sorry, but that's what was
dictated at me.  I am sure I can do it again though :)

This one's fixed... we had a check slip out of the try accidentally.

I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified
for some period of time.  I believe that most of these issues have been fixed,
so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide.  If the bug you are seeing still exists,
please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
