Luzian, What effect is that causing? I just tried forever to get a SLES9 SP1 PXE AutoYAST to run and no matter what I've tried, it fails at processing the software collection with an error message indicating the base package could not be installed. Shannon Luzian Scherrer wrote:

Hello,

I think there is a typo in AutoInstallRules.ycp (version 1.34.4.9 that comes with SLES9 SP2): the xsltproc to merge classes is called with the following param there (line 733):

--param dontmerge \"'package, addon'\"

and I'm quite sure that it sould be:

--param dontmerge \"'package'\" --param dontmerge2 \"'addon'\"

The result of this typo is that neither <package> nor <addon> are correctly aggregated, which is the desired effect I believe and I also hope.

Quick demonstration:

idhpb02:/ # cat /tmp/a.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <install> <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>addon-A</addon> </addons> <packages config:type="list"> <package>package-A</package> </packages> </software> </install> </profile> idhpb02:/ # cat /tmp/b.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE profile SYSTEM "/usr/share/autoinstall/dtd/profile.dtd"> <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <install> <software> <addons config:type="list"> <addon>addon-B</addon> </addons> <packages config:type="list"> <package>package-B</package> </packages> </software> </install> </profile>

Calling it the wrong way:

idhpb02:/ # xsltproc --novalid --param replace "'false'" --param dontmerge "'package, addon'" --param with "'/tmp/b.xml'" /usr/share/autoinstall/xslt/merge.xslt /tmp/a.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns" xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"> ns1:install ns1:software ns1:addonaddon-B ns1:packagepackage-B

Calling it the (as I think) right way:

idhpb02:/ # xsltproc --novalid --param replace "'false'" --param dontmerge "'package'" --param dontmerge2 "'addon'" --param with "'/tmp/b.xml'" /usr/share/autoinstall/xslt/merge.xslt /tmp/a.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns" xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns"> ns1:install ns1:software ns1:addonaddon-Ans1:addonaddon-B

ns1:packagepackage-Ans1:packagepackage-B

Could this be fixed? Or is it already known and possibly a workaround in existance?

Thanks in advance, -Luzian
