Dependency issues I have four CDs for SLES8, 3 of them are United Linux 1.0 and 1 is SLES8. On the United Linux CDs the program packages are located at "/media/cdrom/UnitedLinux", on the SLES8 CD packages are located at "/media/cdrom/suse". To set up a network install I've combined the "UnitedLinux" and "suse" package directories into one "suse" directory on my nfs server. In the "suse" directory on my SLES8 nfs server I've run /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr, this seems to work and processes 1047 packages. But, when I go to install there are a number of package dependency issues. Most of them deal with the "heartbeat" packages, and the errors are: "/usr/bin/ssh not available" "/bin/ping not available" "libpils.so.0 not available" When comparing /media/cdrom/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/packages to nfsserver:/SLES8/suse/setup/descr/packages I notice that "/bin/ping" has been left out of the description of what "iputils" provides (+Prv:) so, is there something I'm missing or is create_package_descr forgetting some things ? I haven't updated anything on the SLES8 system where create_package_descr is run /media/cdrom/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/packages contains: ... .. . =Pkg: iputils ss020124 334 i586 .. . -Prq: +Prv: nkitb /bin/ping -Prv: +Obs: . .. .... nfsserver:/SLES8/suse/setup/descr/packages contains: ... .. . =Pkg: iputils ss020124 334 i586 .. . -Prq: +Prv: nkitb -Prv: +Obs: thanks for any help, ...aaron
