RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Anaconda trace

Description of problem:
Installing with spacewalk generated repodata metadata causes anaconda to fail to install

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 13.21.149
spacewalk 1.7

How reproducible:
100%



Steps to Reproduce:
1.build a channel in spacewalk
2.copy repo metadata into distribution image
3.kickstart a machine
  
Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 221, in callback
    self.progress.set_fraction(float(self.doneSize / self.totalSize))
ZeroDivisionError: float division


Expected results:
Kickstart correctly

Additional info:
Comment 2 Brian Lane 2012-05-21 22:14:13 UTC 
The primary error here is spacewalk bug 712313, but we really should catch the /0 and just not update the progress bar when we don't have a totalSize.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-25 06:17:36 UTC

the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2013-01-17 10:30:09 UTC 
The root cause of this issue seems to be primary.xml.gz containing installed="". 


So I'm trying to reproduce: 


1) Create a custom repo
2) Manually edit primary.xml.gz and make sure installed=""
3) createrepo --update .
4) Point anaconda to the repo and install packages from it.


Results:
all packages from my custom repo (which have installed="") were installed and no error was triggered. This was with RHEL 6.3. I can't reproduce.


Rob,
can you try and reproduce outside Satellite?
Comment 7 Jan Stodola 2013-01-18 12:46:01 UTC 
Reproduced on RHEL-6.3, primary.xml.gz modified to have installed="" for all packages in the installation repository. I'm going to verify on RHEL-6.4.
Comment 8 Jan Stodola 2013-01-18 13:27:17 UTC 
OK, retested using compose RHEL6.4-20130116.3 with anaconda-13.21.194-1.el6.
Installation finished without any traceback, progress bar was not updated during the install, the number of installed packages showed correct number during the install.
Tested both manual graphical and kickstart installation in text mode.

Moving to VERIFIED.
