Similar to bug #s 5524, 5771, 5789, 6558, 7064?, 7904?, and 5809 but error occurred in diferent place in todo.py Attempted upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 using a downloaded boot floppy (boot-RHEA-1999:044.img) and a RedHat 6.1 CDROM on a Dell OptiPlex GX1p w/ 2 SCSI drives. Upgrade failed at or near the end of the preparation for installation--just after it had determined the number of packages to install. The failure occurred whether or not I customized the package list. Using the same floppy and CDROM, I successfully upgraded a Dell OptiPlex GX1p with an IDE drive (from 6.0 to 6.1) and a Micron laptop (from 6.1 to 6.1--yes this was just a test). However, I noted that the package list for these machines was different. Booting using "Text," I got the following traceback (consistently during several attempts--note: this is hand-copied so errors may occur): Traceback (innermost last) File "/usr/anaconda" line 227 in ? intf.run(todo, test=test) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/stie-packages/text.py", line 1009, in run rc=apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "/usr/lib/phyton/1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 572, in __call__ if tod, toInstall(c): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 1547, in doInstall prob="%-15s %d %c\n" % (mount, need, suffix) Type error: illegal argument type for build-in operation
Fixed for next release.
