Hi, Yes, my mistake, this PDF is actually the PDF from sles9. I must have copied it over the sles8 one by mistake. Now fixed. Anas Diener, Stefan wrote:

Hi,

the <remove-packages> Tag was dokumented for SLES8, but appearently never worked. I'd call that a bug.

Hi group,

i´m having a little problem with the software package configuration using autoyast installation. I want to uninstall some packages automatically during the autoyast installation. Here is the software section from my xml file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <software> <addons config:type="list"/> <base>default</base> <packages config:type="list"> <package>kernel-source</package> </packages> <remove-packages config:type="list"> <package>capi4linux</package> <package>i4l-isdnlog</package> <package>i4lfirm</package> <package>i4l-base</package> </remove-packages> </software> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --

The installation of the additonal package "kernel-source" is okay, but the uninstallation of the i4l package doesn´t work. A manual removing with the rpm -e command in the order shown above works fine. Any ideas?

I belive the remove-packages syntax was not supported in SLES8 and is a SLES9 feature - you will have to edit the selection files instead or create your own.

Best regards Hubba
