I found the problem myself: I had to copy the EXTRA_PROV file into my repository (/install/suse). Now it works. -x /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV is not needed while executing create_package_descr since it is the default. Instead I would have to use -x /install/suse But thank you for your help. Daniel Bertolo

This is almost the 'default' problem when you do a 'create_package_descr'. What you must do is a
create_package_descr -d /install/suse -l german -l english -x /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV
This will do the works!

Hi
I would like to update my repository with some updated RPMs. As described in the autoyast howto, I run "/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr -d /install/suse -l german -l english". The package describtions will be created and stored in "./setup/descr". But when I would like to configure the packages in autoyast, hundreds of dependencies failed, starting with "missing /bin/awk; missing /bin/bash" etc.
The only way I found to fix it was to recopy the repository from the DVDs. But then I still have the old packages.
What do I do wrong?
By the way: What is the best way in order to keep the repository up-to-date. Is there a way that the clients always boot over the network in order to check for updates? I would like the clients to do the following during boot:
- Boot over network using PXE - Check if there is a local linux installation - If no -> install - If yes -> compare the installed packages to the repository - If there are updates -> install the updated packages -> local boot - If there are no updates -> local boot
This is what the SuSE Smart Client Framework does. But how do I implant this? There is no howto and the consultants I know do not want to tell me how to do it unless they can do it.
Thanks for help. Daniel Bertolo
