G'Day.
It seems K12LTSP no longer likes either Canadians, the Dutch or Germans!
I tried to install beta 3 over my network last night/this morning. The
installation went fine until the point where you choose to use default
packages or to customize your package selection. Once I hit next, I
got:
An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please
copy the full text of this exception and file a detailed bug report
against anaconda at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "usr/bin/anaconda", line 1165, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch,

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/hdrlist.py", line 422, in _getitiem_ raise
KeyError, "No such package %s" %(item,) KeyError: 'No such package
man-pages'
This was true with both graphical and text mode on two different
machines. The error happened whether I chose to install the default
packages or customize the packages to install.
As I read over the trace I noticed the error in
selectLanguageSupportGroups. Since the language selection is one of the
things I changed I've just tried it again with the default English (US)
and it is happily installing as I type this.
The changes I tried to make were to add:
Dutch (Netherlands)
English (Canada) - Default
German (Germany)
I'm positive that I installed the previous betas with that same language
selection!
If necessary I can try the languages one at a time but I suspect it
won't make a difference and right now I have to head to the office!
