Incorrect path in error dialog displayed when disconnected from FTP
Last modified: 2007-02-21 17:10:35 UTC
When error occurs during installation from FTP (in my case probably "too many users"), an error message is displayed with URL pointing to cd:///?devices=/dev/hdc. It should point to something like ftp://10.20. 3.1/netboot/find/SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta7-i386-CD2.
Jiri has used redirect URL before, so YaST should show his overridden one instead of the original one.
Any progress on this? If not fixed meanwhile or really easy to fix I suggest to move this for SP1 or SL 10.2.
I will have a look as soon as I get rid of all the more important bugs... Raising severity just to get it on my radar...
The cause of this problem is that in case of URL, the particular medium is redirected, but the URL of the source is kept. And when trying to access a new medium, the URL is derived from the URL of the source (which still points to CD). I cannot do anything about it in the RC phase, the fix would be too risky in this development phase. Will do it for 10.2 (and if requested, backport to SLE10 SP1)
In this case -> enhancement for 10.2 Remember to ask whether you have to create a backport for SLES10 SP1
Too late for 10.2...
Fixed in yast2-pkg-bindings-2.15.12 (STABLE) and in yast2-pkg-bindings-2.13.117 (SP1) Pkg-bindings now remember URLs used for redirection, the redirected URL is displayed instead of the original URL.
