If I'm not mistaken, this is because you've upgraded packages (with something like YOU).  I did this, and I had to remove part of the revision number.  For instance, in your example below, you'd want:

./suse/i586/3ddiag-0.703.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/BASS-20030801.i586.rpm

You should be able to do that with a regex search-and-replace.

Subject: [suse-autoinstall] autoyast missing packages when creating iso


I'm having a problem when trying to create an automatic install of SuSE to
put on CDROM.

This is SuSE 9.0, if that makes any difference.

I go through AutoYaST, tell it to clone my config and then select the Create
ISO option, but then I get:

Missing Packages                                   
./suse/i586/3ddiag-0.703-172.i586.rpm
./suse/i586/BASS-20030801-55.i586.rpm       

Plus loads of others

Now, I've got the entire SuSE 9.0 (all 7Gb) on an FTP server of mine and if
I go into YaST and install extra packages, they install fine.  Note that
this was NOT where I installed from - I used a remote ftp mirror for the
install as my local copy hadn't finished downloading so I've been into Yast
and changed the installation source (could autoyast be picking up the path
to the original RPMS from somewhere?).

If I ftp to the machine and cd to the directories listed above its fine:

ftp> cd ./suse
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.

226 Transfer complete.

ftp> cd i586

ftp> ls 3dd*

3ddiag-0.703-172.i586.rpm
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 27 bytes received in 2.12Seconds 0.01Kbytes/sec.
ftp>

So, any suggestions for what I've done wrong?  I've spent over a day on
this, had the SuSE available on multiptle FTP/HTTP sites and I just cannot
get it to work!

Does AutoYaST actually work (I've tried this on two different SuSE 9.0
machines)?  If not, how else can I clone a SuSE 9.0 install so that it can
be installed (without much user intervention) on multiple machines from a
CDROM?
