Description of problem:
Using generic boot.iso from rawhide 20160103 and 20160104, I'm unable to install fedora workstation. The installer is stuck on "installing rootfiles.noarch", nothing else happens.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 24.8-1
rootfiles-8.1-18.fc23.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the installer using generic boot.iso
2. select workstation in software selection
3. proceed in installation with everything else set to default
4. installer will get stuck on "installing rootfiles.noarch"

Comment 5 Jan Sedlák 2016-01-05 12:42:03 UTC 
Interesting is that installing Server from netinst works and rootfiles package is also installed there.
Comment 6 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2016-01-05 13:22:35 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 24-alpha by Fedora user lbrabec using the blocker tracking app because:

 Violation of alpha criterion:
Installer requirements - Installation interfaces:
When using a dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces.
Comment 7 Ondrej Vasik 2016-01-06 11:24:42 UTC 
Is that really stuck in rootfiles.noarch? In dnf.rpm.log I see: 
led 05 11:05:55 INFO Installed: rootfiles-8.1-18.fc23.noarch
led 05 11:05:55 INFO Installed: rootfiles-8.1-18.fc23.noarch

Based on it, it might be the next package in the transaction.
There was no update in rootfiles package for quite a long time, so I think something else is causing this issue. This package just creates dotfiles in /root directory.
Comment 8 Lukas Brabec 2016-01-06 14:04:05 UTC 
I did the installation again, but now, I was checking output of 'top' at the end of package installation phase. And truly, it seems that it is not stuck on rootfiles. 

From what I caught, the next commands eating the most of cpu are:
update-mime-database
depmod
dracut
pigz
mandb 

After that, the system gets to relatively idle state (anaconda eating around 2% of cpu). 

It looks like anaconda does the job in background but the gui doesn't refresh. However, after rebooting from another tty, the system won't boot. I guess that some installation phase was skipped, maybe the action connected to reboot/finish configuration button, which I couldn't click because it wasn't shown?
Comment 9 Lukas Brabec 2016-01-06 14:24:27 UTC 
I tried text installation with same result, it gets stuck on 'Installing rootfiles.noarch', several commands (dracut etc.) then run in background and then idle.
Comment 10 David Shea 2016-01-06 14:26:44 UTC 
When it gets stuck, can you run 'killall -USR2 anaconda' and attach the /tmp/anaconda-tb* file?

I see the same issue, and I think this is a clue:

Jan 07 13:31:37 ERR Error in PRETRANS scriptlet in rpm package copy-jdk-configs
Jan 07 13:31:37 ERR Error in PRETRANS scriptlet in rpm package copy-jdk-configs

See dnf.rpm.log
Comment 13 Joachim Frieben 2016-01-07 16:25:23 UTC 
This error also occurs these days when doing a network install of Fedora 23 using the official boot image! I suppose it is related to a recent bug in copy-jdk-configs which has slipped into the Fedora 23 updates and the developement tree. From the change log:

"* Wed Dec 16 2015 Jiri Vanek <jvanek redhat com> - 1.1-2 - package now "installs" also during pretrans, so pretrasn scripts can use it - pretrasn "install" is removed in postrans"

I therefore suggest setting the component to copy-jdk-configs.

Yes, I am using PXE boot and install of FC23, I am observer exactly what the reporter observes - the installation fails and it looks like the reason is 'copy-jdk-configs'
Comment 15 jiri vanek 2016-01-08 09:51:11 UTC 
Hello.

Have anybdy idea how can I test it with local (theoretically fixed) packages?
Comment 16 jiri vanek 2016-01-08 09:55:38 UTC 
Lukas, is there stacktace of copy-jdk-configs please?

I have suspicions to:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/copy-jdk-configs.git/tree/copy-jdk-configs.spec#n37
or 
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/copy-jdk-configs.git/tree/copy-jdk-configs.spec#n40

As those two are the only harmfull commands in that pretrans.
Comment 17 jiri vanek 2016-01-08 11:05:48 UTC 
Currently I was abel to reproduce by various cheating on  /var/lib /var/lib/rpm-state dirs (it is not solid reproducer)

From that experience I fixed the packages:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/copy-jdk-configs.git/commit/?id=5ab2a1f2e5bfb1802ef99a24b60139ef5f09435d

Now I'm building it for fedoras:
f24 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12464996
f23 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12464999
and same for f22 and epels (but there it do not harm for now)

If anybody is able to confirm that this is fixed, I will be really happy.

Jiri, I am confirming that "copy-jdk-configs-1.1-3.fc23.noarch.rpm" has the problem fixed, hopefully you can have it published soon.

Thanks!
