Hi, Did you by any chance recreate the package database? This happens if you have created the database without using the dependency file from /usr/share/autoinstall. Anas Fred Mobach wrote:
Hello List,
While my configuration of autoyast in SuSE Linux 8.1 works perfectly an annoying RAID controller in a Dell server forced me to upgrade to 8.2. Normal installation from the SuSE CD's works like a charm. However, autoyast (adapted to the 8.2 rpm's like coreutils) returns errormessages during installation : - SuSE 8.2 Professional via autoyast - installation of devs-2003.3.14-1 - Error messages : - var/tmp/rpm-tmp.<PID>: line <n>: rm: command not found (line = 5 and 8)
I checked (on tty2) and indeed most programs in /mnt/bin and /mnt/usr/bin are failing. I think the interesting part of the autoinstall.xml is : <software> <addons config:type="list"/> <base>Minimal</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>SuSEfirewall2</package> <package>aaa_base</package> <package>aaa_skel</package> <package>acl</package> <package>acpid</package> <package>alsa</package> <package>apt</package> <package>apt-devel</package> <package>ash</package> <package>at</package> <package>attr</package> <package>autoyast2-installation</package> <package>bash</package> <package>bc</package> <package>bind9-utils</package> <package>bindutil</package> <package>bootsplash</package> <package>bootsplash-theme-SuSE</package> <package>bzip2</package> <package>compat</package> <package>coreutils</package>
Remarks : - xmllint does not signal errors - the collection of packages includes all rpm's contained in the minimal installtion + some additional packages
No need to tell you that after failure of devs installation the resulting system is not in working condition. ;-)
If you find it useful I can put the autoinstall.xml (404 lines) on the web.
