#260 Packages out-of-order for CentOS 5 install cd-set
Closed: Fixed Opened by anonymous.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

During the creation of a CD set for a CentOS 5 install, the packages are arranged out of order and therefore many installation dependencies are missed. A sample of the many errors from install.log is below:

Installing info - 4.8-14.el5.i386
/sbin/install-info: error while loading shared libraries: '''libz.so.1''': cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing desktop-file-utils - 0.10-7.i386
update-desktop-database: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing gtk2 - 2.10.4-16.el5.i386
/usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders: line 20: sed: command not found
/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/update-gtk-immodules: line 20: sed: command not found
/usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0-32: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: %post(gtk2-2.10.4-16.el5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

Many errors from packages needing zlib files (among others), but zlib is only installed much later. The packages below are on the second cd when many of the packages on the first cd seem to require these.

Installing glibc-common - 2.5-12.i386
Installing zlib - 1.2.3-3.i386
Installing glib2 - 2.12.3-2.fc6.i386

Even after putting the packages in a correct order in the kickstart file, revisor will just use the manifest and then reorder them. Perhaps a feature that lets one specify the package-order to override pkgorder from anaconda could be useful.

Depending on what Revisor version you use this may have been solved. Please include details such as the system's anaconda-runtime version, and the anaconda-runtime version ending up on the media. Same goes for yum, anaconda, pykickstart.

jfsutils is in the "suggested" package list which means if it's available it'll get included, but if it's not available Revisor shouldn't complain. Reading back the code it shouldn't complain.

sorry about not checking the mailing list.

revisor is still complaining about jfsutils and saying it is required during a CentOS5 install-media cd-creation. jfsutils is only listed in the fc comps files and not the centos ones.

Thanks for the patch. Running revisor from GIT, pkgorder did not error out and the CentOS 5 CDs were created successfully. During installation though, these messages came up:

Running anaconda, the CentOS system installer - please wait
exec of anaconda failed: no such file or directory
install exited abnormally[1/1]

This is the first time this has happened, as all the other times the install ran through but the packages were out of order.

Hi,

I can't add in a kickstart file anymore when building from GIT.

Sorry about making all of these requests, but its a little bit urgent for me to be able to make some CentOS 5 install cd-sets. I know you guys are trying hard, and I appreciate all of the help. Now that pkgorder is fixed, if you could release a version of revisor that will use this fix and makes sure that anaconda is executable before a CentOS installation it would be great. Again, thanks for the help.

If there's anything I can provide you from my build/install processes to illuminate the problems let me know.

I have a fully functional CentOS 5 DVD iso and need to clone this installation into cd-set format.

Could this DVD function itself as the unified tree revisor is having problems building? Just a thought.

No Anaconda packages are in the CentOS folder on this DVD.
