[opensuse-autoinstall] (opensuse 10.3) My autoyast configuration does not remove packages in the remove packages section

Hi all! I've a problem with my autoyast configuration. Although I've specified packages for removing in the remove-packages section of software in autoyast, they're still there after the installation. What's wrong with these statements:
<remove-packages config:type="list"> <package>beagle</package> <package>beagle-lang</package> <package>beagle-index</package> <package>kio_beagle</package> <package>kerry</package> <package>kerry-lang</package> <package>kdebase3-beagle</package> <package>beagle-firefox</package> </remove-packages>
In case I'm not successfull in the software section: Is it a good idea to run a "zypper remove" or a "rpm -e" statement in a post install script? Thanks in advance.

when a package is "required" by a pattern you have installed, then the resolver does not allow you to deselect that package.

if you are sure you don't need the packages, it's worth a try. -- 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: Black Heart [coeur triste] by Edge Of Dawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
