I found the problem. My example was wrong. It is a special package which will destroy pattern selection. It is the package lprng ! Try <package>lprng</package> as only package with any pattern setup and you will see. As most users don't try to use lprng instead of cups it is possible that this problem slipped beta testing. Adding lprng seems to force an auto removal of cups packages. As some patterns are dependant on cups (base is) this seems to break the whole process. At least this is my guess. Removing just lprng fixed the problem. I have to stick with cups as it seems to use autoinstall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
