https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330467 Summary: Incomplete package lists/missig packages in Qt-Yast2 and Ncurses-Yast, complete lists only in GTK-Yast2 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mid@ct.heise.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=176170) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=176170) Package list for section Xen with Qt-Yast2 (top), Ncurses-Yast (lower left) and GTK-Yast2 (lower right) Observation: When trying to add software via Yast2 software management module "Software installieren oder löschen", many (required) packages are not listed by Qt-Yast2 or Ncurses-Yast while they are listed and can be installed with GTK-Yast2. Side Effect: When installing Xen with Qt- or Ncurses-Yast and trying to install the hypervisor and the modules with the Yast-module "Hypervisor und Werkzeuge einrichten" afterwards, several xen-packages will be installed automatically before. Workaround: Use GTK-Yast2 for all software installations, requires GNOME installed. System environment: OpenSuse 10.3 (GoldenMaster from 2007-09-28), using German as language (others not verified), default installation with KDE selected as desktop environment, no additional packages manually selected. Tried on four very different computers (Notebook up to Server) with various processors (AMD/Intel), 32 Bit. Also tried installation on 2007-10-03 with configuring/using online update repositories during installation -- same effect. Always reproducible: Yes, in all cases. Tested >10 installations on four different computers. How to reproduce: A: with Qt-Yast2 1) Boot machine, due to default auto login KDE will start. 2) Press the geeko (start button), left in the KDE bar. Select the register "Computer", there "Systemeinstellungen/Yast". Enter root-password when prompted. 3) In section "Software", klick on "Software installieren oder löschen". The software management module opens a new window. 4) Select Filter "Schemata" (paterns) 5) In section "Serverfunktionen", select "Hostserver für Xen Virtual Machine" 6) Yast will select all packages of this section and list them on the right side of the window. See attachement. There are only eleven packages displayed for this section instead of several dozend. E.g. the most important packages kernel-xen and kernel-xenpae are missing and they're not going to be installed. B: with Ncurses-Yast 1) Boot machine, due to default auto login KDE will start. 2) Start a terminal and log in as root. 3) Call "yast -i" to start the software management module of Yast on the command line. 4) Select as Filter "Patterns", in the list of patterns select "Hostserver für Xen Virtual Machine". 5) Yast will show the same eleven packages as Qt-Yast2 did. Again, kernel-xen, kernel-xenpae and many other packages are not shown and are not installed. (See attachement, lower left) C: with GTK-Yast2 1) Follow steps 1) to 4) of description A: 2) Add the sections "GNOME Desktop-Umgebung", automatically "GNOME Basissystem" will be selected. 3) Install the selected and automatically added packages. 4) Close QT-Yast2 and log out from KDE. 5) Select GNOME for next session, log in again. 6) Klick on "Computer" in the lower left GNOME bar and start "Kontrollzentrum". 7) In section System, start Yast and enter root-password when prompted. 8) Klick on "Software installieren ode..." to start the software management module 9) Select "Zeige Pakete: in Schemata" in the software management module 10) Open section "Serverfunktionen" and there "Hostserver für Xen Virt..". 11) Yast shows in the left side of the window more than a dozend packages for this section, also the packages kernel-xen and kernel-xenpae (see attachement, lower right).
