may i ask: what should the installer do?
of course you may - and I'll anser your question :-)
first I have upgraded the the machine, where has been installed a SuSE 9.0. The result was the same for mt or mtst (where "mtst" has been a link to "mt"). The system installer could have identified an installed mt or mtst and -in my opinion- a replace should occure.
For an installation from scratch including the cpio-packet there should be a replace for the mt program by mtst because mt seems to be outdated. I think there are so many dependencies in the SuSE-system that one more doesn't really count.
not really. from the upgrade path it is more secure to assume that your old config is working. so we wont blindly exchange packages you used before. if you now find out that mt is no longer working for you. you can upgrade to mt_st. both tools are under Productivity/Archiving. so not that far away from each other. another good move from your side would be reporting this bug. with kind regards darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org
