Was this issue solved in the final SLES10 or SLES10-SP1?
it's definitely fixed in SP1 but IIRC SLES10 was not affected too.
Sorry for digging in the past, but testing SLES10-SP1 and SLED10-SP1 and some "combination" with openSuSE 10.1. I have similar problems with <remove-packages> which have been solved for openSuSE 10.1 in 2006 by the fix for the root image. But what about SLES?
the problem that autoyast can not remove packages that are required by a pattern still exists. There was a bug that no package could be removed at all and that bug is fixed but that does not guarantee that you can remove each and every package now.
And to answer an obvious question: Yes, I only want to remove packages, that are not required by others and which I can remove with yast, but not automatically (as described above).
RPM dependency is one thing but there are also patterns that require packages.
As far as I understand, the problem still seems to occur in some newer distributions again as e.g. openSUSE 10.3 (see posting from 26.2. and 27.2.2008)!? Is that right?
you can remove packages but not all. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: Breathe by Seabound -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
