The strange thing is, we do add the update repo when doing the upgrade, and I can prove that the most recently upgraded machine (where the problem occurred) received sysconfig-0.72.6-2.5.1.i586 as part of the upgrade and not from a subsequent online update. After upgrading we verify installation of our special Math packages and then do update again, and it reports "nothing to do", which is true. Also, all but one or two of these machines is being upgraded from SuSE 10.3 and had 10.1 on it before that, and so the same failure should have occurred on every one, but it didn't. I have the impression that there are two scripts that update persistent interface names, but I haven't been able to track down the second one. I think that when setting up for an upgrade I'm going to preemptively fix 70-persistent-net.rules and hope that it will not be fixed recursively. Yes, we do have /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules.disabled on both affected and unaffected machines, left over from SuSE 10.1 which most of them had before 10.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
