Attempting to reproduce Bug 887236. Package: anaconda-18.37.2-1.fc18.x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18
This exception occurs before the Installation Summary is displayed. Proposing as a blocker. Affected languages with significant translation coverage[1] include: Assamese (India) Chinese (China) Chinese (Taiwan) Czech (Czech Republic) Hungarian (Hungary) Japanese (Japan) Russian (Russia) Tamil (India) Ukrainian (Ukraine) Tested with: anaconda-18.37.2-1.fc18 $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-1.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/TC2/Fedora-18-TC2-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse [1] https://fedora.transifex.com/projects/p/anaconda/resource/master/
This bug does not occur with the DVD. Tested with: $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-1.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/TC2/Fedora-18-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse
Blocker nomination apparently didn't really happen: doing it.

- boot TC2 live CD - Install to Hard Drive - Select Czech language, press Continue Package: anaconda-18.37.2-1.fc18.i686 Architecture: i686 OS Release: Fedora release 18
Discussed at 2012-12-17 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-12-17/f18final-blocker-review-5.2012-12-17-16.40.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation using all supported interfaces" for several major non-English languages.

Patch posted to anaconda-patches.

We need Live to verify this. Waiting for TC4. Setting back to ON_QA.
you don't need to wait for a compose. Just boot TC3 and yum update anaconda before running it.
Or if you can't wait for the build to show up in a repo and enjoy typing: :-) # yum -y install koji # koji download-build --arch=x86_64 373778 # yum -y update *.rpm I paste this info into a gedit window next to my VM window, so that I don't have to remember the build id: Information for build anaconda-18.37.5-1.fc18 ID 373778 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=373778
I tested the fix for this, it works. Reproduced the crash with 18.37.3 and it goes away with 18.37.4.
