[SuSE Linux] Misleading Yast error message
  • From: abrahams@xxxxxxxxxxx (Paul W. Abrahams)

  • Message-id: <36DD842F.AAAC2F3D@xxxxxxxxxxx>



I posted some earlier messages about the problem I had running Yast and
attempting to install a .rpm package from an existing directory. The
message I got was "could not find the installation directory", which
confused me greatly because the directory was right there. The actual
problem was that the *contents* of the directory weren't what Yast was
expecting, namely, something that resembled an installation CD. This
error message really ought to be replaced by a more informative one.
