In general, we need YaST logs for almost all YaST bug reports; it's very rare that we can do anything useful without them. Also, please elaborate what error message you got. What makes you so sure the package download was what failed? Did you get errors about bad RPM signatures? And of course the usual suspects: Did you try "memtest" to check if the hardware is 100% reliable?

I have simple installation with KDE4.1. The package xerces-j2 cannot be installed, because the update-alternatives is missing when executing the post section. checking with "rpm -q --root /mnt update-alternatives" shows it is installed "rpm -V --root /mnt update-alternatives" gives

missing /usr/sbin/update-alternatives missing d /usr/share/man/man8/update-alternatives.8.gz

Installing the package anew from console and retrying from yast doesn't work, too, because perl is missing and so on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But don't know idea, where's the problem, because xerces-j2.spec has update-alternatives in PreReq. And xerces-j2 package has it in requires (I don't know how to write the PreReq using rpm) $ rpm -qp /work/CDs/all/full-head-x86_64/suse/noarch/xerces-j2.rpm xerces-j2-2.8.1-171.71 $ rpm -qp --requires /work/CDs/all/full-head-x86_64/suse/noarch/xerces-j2.rpm update-alternatives /bin/ln /bin/sh /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 Have you any idea what's wrong? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The package update-alternatives is in the rpm db. But verifying it shows two missing files. Other packagess seem to be incomplete, too. I have verified the perl package and it misses many files. I used the "-root /mnt" option for these checks. I don't think, this is a problrem of the xerces package. For me it looks like that some rpms or an image containing these rpms has failed in some way. The system itself seems to be stable. The memory test shows no failures. I can reproduce this with the internal ssd and a sdhc card. Meanwhile I have made a successful installation and now have a working system which has no problems except the usual issues which are already reported elsewhere. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In this case the package that could not be installed was not essential for the whole installation (cups-drivers), so it could be ignored without further problems and the installation continues. My guess is, that in the former case, where xerces-j2 could not be installed, the installation of an image has failed, so that several packages are incomplete at once. Is there no checksum for images? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's not clear why this is a kernel bug. I install over NFS all the time. It seems more likely that the download is corrupt.

I have done approx. a dozen installs on the EEEPC 900A (the machine where the problem occurs) and another older notebook from the same installation source. Installations on the latter never failed. On the EEEPC sometimes a single RPM failed with checksum error, which I can ignore and installed latter successfully, and in one case the installation of an image failed, where it wasn't possible to recover, because several packages havent' been installed correctly. I have run a long memory check, without an error and I tried two different SSDs as installation destination. I have done new test, and copied several GB of data via NFS from another machine to the EEEPC and checked these files using md5sum and got errors, too. The same test done using WLAN shows no problem. So I think the source of the Problem is the ATL1e nic or it's driver. So it maybe a kernel problem or problem of may hardware. What test can I do to verify these components? Two thing I observed are: - Retry in YaST or zypper doesn't doesn't a new download of the package, but tries to install the already damged RPM again. - There seems to be no checksum test of the images used during installation. Maybe this are two other bug reports... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I suggest trying the vanilla kernel package, and if it exists there as well, please file a bug in bugzilla.kernel.org so that the network developers can take a look at it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
