Bug 156935 – local variable ' format_option ' referenced before assignment

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Release Media

[Description Matthew Flaschen 2006-12-02 12:02:03 UTC]

I received the error "local variable 'format_option referenced before assignment" during the installation.  The whole message is:

There was an Exception received during the install that is outside of the normal install errors.  This is a bad thing. The error was:local variable 'format_option' referenced before assignment. Please submit a bug report (after searching to make sure it's not a known issue and verifying you didn't do something stupid) with the contents of /var/log/install.log and /tmp/installprofile.xml and the version of the installer you used.

I believe I set the format option manually for each of the partitions, so I don't know why I got this error.  There may be a problem with the installer, and if not I'd appreciate any help you can give me.  I'll attach /var/log/installer.log and /tmp/installprofile.xml ,as requested.

This bug has already been fixed in SVN, but there hasn't been a new release with it.
