EXTRA_PROV_FILE missing from SLES8 s390
I'm trying to update the package description of a SLES8 s390 distribution which is being housed on a SLES9 x86 server. /usr/bin/create_package_descr EXTRA_PROV_FILE location missing. Call this script with -x <location to EXTRA_PROV file>. The EXTRA_PROV is available on the first CD in the directory suse/setup/descr There is no "EXTRA_PROV" included with the SLES8 s390 media.
on SLES8, the file is in /usr/share/autoinstall. Anas Kohrs, Steven wrote:

Thanks Anas, for helping me over that hurdle. Now I'm stuck again. The create_package_descr command looks like it finishes successfully, but when I try to add an installation source with YaST, I'm kicked out of the "Change source of installation" module. The Web server's access_log reports setup/descr/packages.en_US was requested, but it doesn't exist. I only show packages.de and packages.en files being created. I tried the "-l en_US" option with create_package_descr and resulted in a "packages." file. How do I create the packages.en_US file or force YaST to settle for the bloody packages.en? I think I've read in the archives that the create_package_descr is backwards compatible, right? I'm running the version that came with SLES9 to build a description of SLES8. Does this message in /var/log/YaST2/y2log have any bearing? [ui-ncurses] Y2NCursesUI.cc(setLanguage):720 Encoding for 'en_US' is 'ISO-8859-1' On Sun, 2004-12-19 at 05:19, Anas Nashif wrote:

The missing packages.en_US is not the cause, yast2 just looks for some files and if they are not found, they are are ignored. packages and packages.en have to be there however. So the problem is somewhere else. anas Kohrs, Steven wrote:
