I've a small(ish) problem with the auto-install system of openSUSE 10.2. After using the "clone this system" option at the end of an install I have an autoinst.xml file created that matches the installed system. The problem is that if I use this file to try and perform an auto-installation, every package that has a post-install script fails, returning an error number 255.

I don't know why this is happening and, at first I thought the problem was that bash wasn't installed before the packages executing these scripts. Copying the bash executable doesn't make a difference so I'm at a loss as to what's causing the problem.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the autoinst.xml file created by YaST when using the "clone this system" option after installation, or if the problem is in the auto-installation system, so I thought I'd ask here to find out where the problem lies. That way, when I create a bug report about it, I know what would be the correct category to list it under.

As the file is about 50KB, and I don't think this list would allow an attachment, a compressed copy of the autoinst.xml file is located here:
