Its strange you have problems with files provided by multiple packages. Are you using a predefined selection? Or you have your own package selection?
I should re-state what I'm doing. I'm trying to create a patched 8.1 nfs install tree for normal installs and autoinstall. When the install finishes I don't want to run YOU.
1. I start with a clean 8.1 nfs install tree 2. I wget the 8.1 suse updates 3. I run a script to copy the updates into the clean nfs install tree 4. I run the create_package_descr script to update the packages file 5. I try a manual nfs network install to verify the install tree. 6. I select Software/Detailed Then I select every possible category (Kde/gnome/network/ldap/etc)
If the suse/setup/descr/packages file is correct then the install can proceeed. If the packages file has problems then I get dependency errors. Lately I get dependency problems and I have to manually edit the packages file.
Am I doing something really wrong?
No you are not. There are some dependencies that can't be resolved automatically and have to be solved manually. The change to the package database you have done ist just a work around and not a fix to a problem. In those cases you have to specifically select the files you need, this might resolve the problem Anas
