Hi, the <remove-packages> Tag was dokumented for SLES8, but appearently never worked. I'd call that a bug. Frank -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Hubertus A.

Hi group,

i´m having a little problem with the software package configuration using autoyast installation. I want to uninstall some packages automatically during the autoyast installation. Here is the software section from my xml file:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ <software> <addons config:type="list"/> <base>default</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>kernel-source</package> </packages> <remove-packages config:type="list"> <package>capi4linux</package> <package>i4l-isdnlog</package> <package>i4lfirm</package> <package>i4l-base</package> </remove-packages> </software> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --

The installation of the additonal package "kernel-source" is okay, but the uninstallation of the i4l package doesn´t work. A manual removing with the rpm -e command in the order shown above works fine.

Any ideas?

I belive the remove-packages syntax was not supported in SLES8 and is a SLES9 feature - you will have to edit the selection files instead or create your own. Best regards Hubba

Hi Anas, sorry. My fault. Mixed SLES8 and SLES9 manuals. Obvouisly a brown paper bag day. Frank -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Anas Nashif [mailto:nashif@suse.de] Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.
