It seems as if the online repositories are completely broken and have been for two days at least. I was able to install Beta 2 on two machines very soon after it went public, but have been unable to install it 6 times since then on various machines using various media (DVD from PXE and the 1 CD GNOME install). Each attempt leads to the same errors. Am bumping the severity to critical as this is extremely broken. Many others have been hitting the same problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305509#c5 Tilman Schmidt changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tilman@imap.cc --- Comment #5 from Tilman Schmidt 2007-09-01 16:39:40 MST --- I have the same problem. If I leave the option "Hinzufügen von Online-Depots vor der Installation" (add online depositories before the installation) checked as it is by default, the installation page will show, below the "Software-Auswahl" (software selection) heading, a red message: "Abhängigkeiten können nicht automatisch gelöst werden. Ein manueller Eingriff ist erforderlich." (Dependencies cannot be resolved automatically. Manual intervention is required.) and after that there is no way to complete the installation successfully. Specifically: - Clicking the "Software Selection" header leads to the "Software Selection" page, first showing nothing amiss, but as soon as I try to do anything significant, a "warning" window pops up showing two dependency conflicts: "Cannot install product:openSUSE-factory, because it is conflicting with openSUSE-DVD5-download" and "No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture." - Checking the option "don't install openSUSE-factory" on the first one and "Make a solver run with all possibilities." on the second one and clicking "OK - check again" clears the messages from the warning window, but the warning window itself remains, empty as it is. - Clicking "cancel" makes it go away, but from then on, every time I try to leave the "Software Selection" page by clicking "Accept", the warning window with the "Dependency conflicts" header pops up again, still empty. Clicking "OK - check again" does nothing. Clicking "cancel" puts me back into the "Software Selection" dialog. The only way out is to click "cancel" in the Software Selection dialog, which leads back to the Installation Settings page. I can then start the installation but it aborts soon after formatting the root partition, telling me: The Installation of package ./suse/x86_64/grub-0.97-78.x86_64.rpm has failed. libncurses.so.5 is needed by grub-0.97-78.x86_64 So there is something fundamentally broken in the package selection. Like for the reporter, if I remember unchecking the "add online depositories before the installation" option at the beginning, none of these problems occur. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tilman, I'm going to wait for you to retest on Beta 3 before marking this bug fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305509#c11 --- Comment #11 from Brady Anderson 2007-09-07 08:58:28 MST --- Aaron is correct the problem came later when online repositories foobar'd on us. I guess the problem or bug is more with our process than a bug in the client code although the comprehension level required to figure out the conflict dialog box and actually manually fix the conflict is insane. There is probably not time in 10.3 to fix the conflict resolution wizard but we should add an enhancement for 10.4 and SLED 11. An area that needs some user experience love! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
