Description Adam Williamson 2012-08-31 23:02:41 UTC 
Trying to boot to rescue mode from the F18 Alpha TC4 netinst ISO results in a traceback.

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/exception.py", line 86, in handleException
    (ty, value, tb), obj)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meh/handler.py", line 108, in handleException
    win = self.intf.mainExceptionWindow(str(self.exn), self.exnText)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'mainExceptionWindow'

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/sbin/anaconda", line 926, in <module>
    from pyanaconda.rescue import doRescue
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/rescue.py", line 26, in <module>
    from text import WaitWindow, OkCancelWindow, ProgressWindow, PassphraseEntryWindow, stepToClasses

    from localeinfo import expandLangs
ImportError: cannot import name expandLangs
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2012-08-31 23:05:28 UTC 
nominating as Alpha blocker: criterion is " The rescue mode of the installer must start successfully and be able to detect and mount an existing default installation".
Comment 2 Jesse Keating 2012-08-31 23:13:38 UTC 
This is simply a left over import that is unused and now broken.  Patch to remove it sent upstream.

This is still present in Alpha TC5 (anaconda 18.6.4). New compose is needed.
