Was this issue solved in the final SLES10 or SLES10-SP1?
The posting above was the last one in this thread and I couldn't find
any newer on that topic.


Sorry for digging in the past, but testing SLES10-SP1 and SLED10-SP1
and some "combination" with openSuSE 10.1. I have similar problems
with <remove-packages> which have been solved for openSuSE 10.1 in
2006 by the fix for the root image. But what about SLES?

And to answer an obvious question: Yes, I only want to remove packages, that are
not required by others and which I can remove with yast, but not automatically
(as described above).
And not beeing removed, they even cause some dependency conflicts,
so later removal with rpm -e... is no solution here.


As far as I understand, the problem still seems to occur in some newer 
distributions again as e.g. openSUSE 10.3 (see posting from 26.2. and
27.2.2008)!? Is that right?
