cant complete 'upgrade': I'm linux 6.1 # 68751e1abe94f005 I've downloaded the RHEA-1999-045 and -044 boot / update disks, and they dont work either. console F1 reads: (trying an update) error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xserver/SecurityPolicy Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/threadimg.py", line 376, in __bootstrap self.run ( ) File "/tmp/updates/iw/progress.py", line 16, in run rc=self.todo.doInstall ( ) File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1500, in doInstall self.instLog=open (self.instPath + logname, "w+") IOError:[Errno2] no such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/tmp/upgrade.log' this is of course completely transparent to me, I just want to see if you know what it means, thanks, Bruce MacLeod
By any chance is your /tmp directory a symbolic link to another location?? It looks like your /tmp is linked here, and that is the reason that the upgrade process cannot find it. The installer is only capable of dealing with relative links. In other words, you need to make sure that if /tmp is indeed a link, it should be a realtive link. Reopen this bug if you are still having problems.
