I have downloaded the RPMS and base directory of redhat 6.1 from a ftp site. Now I am trying to install. During the Reading Package Information dialog I always receive an error message ("Exception Occurred"). All the files in the RPMS directory are .RPM what's wrong??? ******* Exception Occurred TrackBack(innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real" Line 255, in ? Intf.run(toto, teste=test) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply(step[1](),step[2]) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 468, in__cal__ todo.getCompsList() File ***** After that there's a messagem saying "Terminating process..." "You can rebooot your system now."
My guess is your download went wrong and you got a corrupted package (transmission error or downloaded from a broken mirror). This normally doesn't happen. Try downloading it again. Note to the installer people: The installer should really output more descriptive error messages instead of throwing python exceptions. A corrupted package shouldn't hang the installer at all... Reassigning instead of closing because of this.
The latest installer has been modified to provide the package which is causing a problem such as this. We are hoping to have a dialog pop up in the next release which will explain more clearly what is happening when the installer hits a corrupted package.
