http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521357 Summary: Missing dependencies for preload functionality Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bugzilla@go4more.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.0) Gecko/20090623 SUSE/3.5.0-4.1 Firefox/3.5 I don't know how exactly the "preload" functionality in openSUSE is supposed to work, so this bug report might be misleading. All pages in the wiki concerning "preload" are obviously outdated. Problem: As long as neither the packages "blktrace" nor "systemtap-runtime" are installed, obviously nothing is done concerning preloading (no changes in /var/cache/preload). Both packages are installed by default, but as they are not required by the "preload"-RPMs, they can be deinstalled by the user. Which I did, as I did not recognize any necessity for this packages, disabling the "preload"-functionality (?) without me noticing it. Only a mysterious small error message in the boot protocol gave me a hint. Solution: IMHO the dependencies should be changed in order to require these packages for preload.
