Dear Fellow Test Team:
Recently while trying to test the upgrade of F12-Gold to F13-Alpha I encountered this bug.https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568334 and if I read the history correct this bug of anaconda 13.31 wasn't fixed until 13.35 but 13.32 is what ships with F13 Alpha. I'm new to all this but why ship a broken installer with an Alpha candidate shouldn't that have been a release blocker bug? Or do I not understand how things work?
It's not a blocker. We don't block on upgrade functionality until the Beta.
For a more detailed list of issues that are considered Beta blockers, check out https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Beta_Release_Criteria#Beta_Release_...
Also, if you need a fix for that issue before F13 Beta is released, there is an updates.img [1] available to work around [2] the problem.
Thanks, James

I downloaded the 568334.img file as updates.img and placed it into /images/updates.img. When attempting an install via http it ended with bug 568334. When attempting an install via linux updates=... command it ended with bug568334.
If this updates.img file is meant to be a work around for bug 568334 and allow F13-Alpha to install on VirtualBox-OSE 3.1.4 then it is not complete or I have misused it.

On some recent F12 updates I have been getting this error message
groupdel: group 'saslauth' does not exist
Is this something I need to create by hand, or should the update have created it?

Interesting, the failure details attached to the existing bug are different from what is reported.
anaconda 13.32 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/tmp/updates/text.py", line 597, in run (file, classNames) = stepToClasses[step] File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1191, in <module> anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) KeyError: 'bootloader'
Can you try the latest F13 test candidate images? For details, see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2010-March/000042.htm...
Thanks, James
