SuSE 8.2 Prof installation of devs-2003.3.14-1 : rm: command not found
Hello List, While my configuration of autoyast in SuSE Linux 8.1 works perfectly an annoying RAID controller in a Dell server forced me to upgrade to 8.2. Normal installation from the SuSE CD's works like a charm. However, autoyast (adapted to the 8.2 rpm's like coreutils) returns errormessages during installation : - SuSE 8.2 Professional via autoyast - installation of devs-2003.3.14-1 - Error messages : - var/tmp/rpm-tmp.<PID>: line <n>: rm: command not found (line = 5 and 8) I checked (on tty2) and indeed most programs in /mnt/bin and /mnt/usr/bin are failing.

Hi, Did you by any chance recreate the package database? This happens if you have created the database without using the dependency file from /usr/share/autoinstall. Anas Fred Mobach wrote:

No need to tell you that after failure of devs installation the resulting system is not in working condition. ;-)
If you find it useful I can put the autoinstall.xml (404 lines) on the web.

Thank you, I have corrected this and now it works as expected. -- Fred Mobach - fred@mobach.nl - postmaster@mobach.nl Systemhouse Mobach bv - The Netherlands - since 1976 website : http://fred.mobach.nl There's nothing remarkable about it.

I've discovered what was wrong. The 8.2 package repository amount other versions is mounted on a suse-8.1 machine. That machine has /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV, _but_ this is the 8.1 version!!! Of course that went wrong as fileutils, textutils have been replaced by coreutils in 8.2 As the script create_package_descr pulls in the /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV the above mistake is easily made. Perhaps that the EXTRA_PROV should be extended with it's version number like EXTRA_PROV-8.1/2. And that the script create_package_descr could check the version number (the suse-release package is available should such a check could be made). Just my suggestion, up to the next challenge....
