Was this issue solved in the final SLES10 or SLES10-SP1?
it's definitely fixed in SP1 but IIRC SLES10 was not affected too.
OK, thank you for that information.
RPM dependency is one thing but there are also patterns that require packages.
Do you see a possibility to remove the package novfs-kmp-...? In openSuSE 10.1 I can not find it in any selection file. But anyway an appropriate entry in the remove-packaegs section is ignored although other entries are not. Removing this package manually is possible without any problems anwithout any dependency warning. But, why do I want to remove this package? Actually my problem is a different one: I tried to include an add-on repository during my installation, containing some (not all) rpms from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/rpm/i586 . Especially all kernel... packages for some reason connected to our hardware. Doing so, everything works well except the fact, that I get the following error messages: Cannot solve dependencies automatically. Manual intervention ist required. And entering the sofware section (details) manually: novfs-kmp-smp-1.2.0_2.6.16.13_4-10.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-FTP-10.1-0-20080228- 142043] cannot be installed due to missing... There are no installable providers of kernel(fs_proc) == fb66c0190774e82 for novfs-kmp-smp...[...] I tried to solve this problem by also adding all current novfs-kmp- rpms to my "update add-on" repository. But without effect. I can see the new rpm version in yast/autoyast but it is ignored by the system, that automatically still wants to install the old version 1.2.0_... and therefore I get the same error messages and the installation doesn't start. Now I have three questions: Is there a way to do, what I want to do. Directly install the newest kernel with autoyast? Why does autoyast want to install the 1.2.0 version of novfs-kmp-... althout there is a newer and better fitting version availabe? Is the version hard coded somewhere? In the /var/log/YaST/y2log I can find the information, that this rpm is chosen "Explicit !". What does this mean? Why is it not possible to remove the package novfs-kmp-... automatically with the remove-packages method?
