The actual error message reads ---- ... YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Profile.ycp:88 ... ---- Note that it does not matter if there is a partitioning section in the XMl file that gets merged with this rule. The crash is solely triggered by adding the "partition" element to the "dont_merge" part of the rules.xml. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [opensuse-autoinstall] YaST crashes when adding "partition" to "dont_merge" section in rules.xml Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 13:01:52 +0200 From: Joschi Brauchle To: opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Hi everyone, I wanted to customize the partitioning for a specific node type of my auto installation, thus I added ---- <rule> <!-- Custom machine --> <custom1> <script> <!-- script to match machine type --> </script> <match><!-- match string --></match> regex </custom1> <result> <profile><!-- profile name --></profile> <continue config:type="boolean">true</continue> <element><!-- some elements--></element> <element><!-- some elements--></element> <element><!-- some elements--></element> <element>partition</element> </result> </rule> ---- to my rules/rules.xml. YaST crashes at the beginning of the installation when reading/merging the profiles as soon as I added the "partition" element to the "dont_merge" section. If I remove it, the installation runs fine. The error message is something like (I took video and noted this down): ---- error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Profile.ycp:86 /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST.call: line 284: 3549 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $OPT_FBITERM y2base "$Y2_MODULE_NAME" "Y2_MODE_FLAGS $Y2_MODULE_ARGS $Y2_MODE $Y2_UI_ARGS ---- Is there any known problem/workaround?
