F11 -> F12 from DVD: error; unable to read package metadata

[Colin Brace]

Hi all,

I would like to upgrade an existing F11 system to F12. However, the
installer throws up an error message:

----
Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata
directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been properly generated.

Cannot retrieve repository data (respond.xml) for respository
anaconda-InstallationRepo-200911081904-x86_64. Please verify its path and
try again.
----

I've seen this the last few Fedora upgrades. As a result, I usually end up
doing the upgrade with yum. However this time I am changing architecture
(686->86_64) and would prefer to do it from the DVD, as I don't believe that
using yum to do this is supported.

Thanks.
