This means your NFS sources is not configured properly. This normally 
happens when only UL packages are installed, meaning that the 
installation is happening only from one source or if the order of the 
installation is wrong. (yast/{order,instorder}.

During package installation you should two sources on the right section 
of the interface, SLES and UL, If you only see one, then something is wrong.
