Jano, is this caused by calling zypper in interactive mode?
Yes, definitely, it should be called in non-interactive. But even then the install would just fail, if not handled specifically by the updater.
As we don't have any bidirectional communication between updater and zypper yet, a solution/workaround would be adding the installation repo temporarily when the needed DVD/CD is unavailable. Do you have any better ideas?
I don't understand very well. What would really help is to _disable_ all the cd/dvd repos and use online repos only. If you just add another online repo and leave the cd/dvds enabled, you still risk the process will decide to take some packages from the cd... -- 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.

You are right disabling all sources except online repos would solve the problem. Do you think this workaround is worth a new option in zypper?
hmm.. sounds interesting. --no-cd would be nice :O)
The real problem is the lack of a bidirectional communication. That isn't easily to fix.
True. It is indeed annoying but it's not critical and there's an easy workaround, so we should probably wait with the fix until we have the machine I/O. -- 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.

But not returned tho Thomas ;-) I guess because --no-cd isn't done yet.
