that was the right question for me to finally 'get it'.

powersaved was a 'problematic' (to me ...) package that _had_ been
available in 11.0,

http://packages.opensuse-community.org/index.jsp?distro=openSUSE_110&searchTerm=powersave

and, as you've correctly pointed out, is _not_ in 11.1.

this autoyast config was migrated from 11.0 -> 11.1, and i did not
remove the reference to powersaved, wanting to ensure it was disabled
... but, not realizing that it had 'gone away'.

what i failed to realize is that autoyast installation would 'fail'
(or interrupt, as described here) if a stanza was included to disable
a service that did not exist.

for 11.1, removing that stanza, the error goes away.

which raises a question --

i agree that a service EN-able should fail/interrupt if autoyast is
faced with a missing service, but should a DIS-able also fail if the
service doesn't exist?

or, rather, simply pass-thru with no error/no action?

personally, i lean towards the former ... but, the latter might make sense.

thanks!
