Are You Seeing Python Errors?

During some upgrades or installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the
installation program (also known as anaconda) may fail with a Python or
traceback error. This error may occur after the selection of individual packages
or while trying to save the upgrade log in the /tmp/directory. The error may
look similar to:

Traceback (innermost last):
File "/var/tmp/anaconda-
7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20,

in run
rc = self.todo.doInstall ()
File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py",
line 1468, in doInstall
self.fstab.savePartitions ()
File "fstab.py", line 221, in savePartitions sys.exit(0)
SystemExit: 0
Local variables in innermost frame:
self:

sys:
ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3
(iimage
CdromInstallMethod
p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6

This error occurs in some systems where links to /tmp/ are symbolic to other
locations or have been changed since creation. These symbolic or changed links
are invalid during the installation process, so the installation program cannot
write information and fails.

If you experience such an error, first try to download any available errata for
anaconda. Errata can be found at:

The anaconda website may also be a useful reference and can be found online at:
