Anaconda crashes FC5test 1

[david walcroft]

I have tried a graphical,text and 'linux askmethod' install and everyone
has crashed when anaconda starts to install software immediately after 
formating. I have a full anacdump but it's 520Kb this is at the beginning.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1195, in ?
     intf.run(id, dispatch)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 559, in run
     dispatch.gotoNext()
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 145, in gotoNext
     self.moveStep()
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 216, in moveStep
     rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 145, in doInstall
     backend.doInstall(intf, id, instPath)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 752, in doInstall
     self.ayum.run(self.instLog, cb, intf)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 363, in run
     self.populateTs(keepold=0)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 431, in populateTs
     for txmbr in self.tsInfo.getMembers():
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/sortedtransaction.py", line 86, in getMembers
     returnlist.extend(self.pkgdict[key])
KeyError: ('evince', 'i386', '0', '0.4.0', '2')

  Thanks   david

Had the same thing. Accepting the package list as presented got me past 
it.  You can then install/uninstall packages with yum when up and 
running.  Good luck.

You can also try installing with

linux nofb

option. This helped quite a few people, usually with LCD monitors.

Thanks Clyde
   Your advice worked a treat but now I'm trying 'add/remove packages' 
with an error "Installation tree not found. The path /media/cdrecorder 
does not look like a valid installation source"
I don't think Yum would work either having no installation tree.
  Are there any workarounds for this.


    Thanks  david

All of that is broken for now, you have to use yum remove <package name> 
or rpm -e <package name>, BUT be very careful with rpm -e.  You can 
seriously break your system if you remove the wrong thing.  Take a look 
at man yum to see the options you can give it to find package groups, 
etc.  Good luck.

I got the same thing after mucking with the package selection. I then
went to a recycled kickstart file, no GUI, and a small list of
packages to install or not. That worked. Evince was not installed.

The packages stanza of the kickstart file is as follows:

  %packages
  @ language-support
  kernel
  grub
  e2fsprogs

  @ emacs
  # @ gnome-desktop
  # @ base-x
  dosfstools
  mutt
  xorg-x11-xauth
  sg3_utils
  mkisofs
