Hi, First, try to use the method described in http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/8.1/html/advanced.html#AEN1255 You can also try to update /usr/share/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV using the following file: www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/EXTRA_PROV Anas * Aaron McSorley <aaron.mcsorley@amd.com> [Dec 11. 2002 22:59]:

Dependency issues

I have four CDs for SLES8, 3 of them are United Linux 1.0 and 1 is SLES8. On the United Linux CDs the program packages are located at "/media/cdrom/UnitedLinux", on the SLES8 CD packages are located at "/media/cdrom/suse". To set up a network install I've combined the "UnitedLinux" and "suse" package directories into one "suse" directory on my nfs server. In the "suse" directory on my SLES8 nfs server I've run /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/create_package_descr, this seems to work and processes 1047 packages.

But, when I go to install there are a number of package dependency issues. Most of them deal with the "heartbeat" packages, and the errors are: "/usr/bin/ssh not available" "/bin/ping not available" "libpils.so.0 not available"

When comparing /media/cdrom/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/packages to nfsserver:/SLES8/suse/setup/descr/packages

I notice that "/bin/ping" has been left out of the description of what "iputils" provides (+Prv:)

so, is there something I'm missing or is create_package_descr forgetting some things ?

I haven't updated anything on the SLES8 system where create_package_descr is run

/media/cdrom/UnitedLinux/setup/descr/packages contains: ... .. . =Pkg: iputils ss020124 334 i586 .. . -Prq: +Prv: nkitb /bin/ping -Prv: +Obs: . .. ....

nfsserver:/SLES8/suse/setup/descr/packages contains: ... .. . =Pkg: iputils ss020124 334 i586 .. . -Prq: +Prv: nkitb -Prv: +Obs:

thanks for any help, ...aaron
