[Bug 205944] New: smartlink-softmodem unexpectedly installed during kernel update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205944 Summary: smartlink-softmodem unexpectedly installed during kernel update Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: kkaempf@novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: kkaempf@novell.com While installing kernel patch 2036 with YOU, smartlink-softmodem (the userspace daemon, not the *-kmp!) was installed. This is somewhat unexpected, there is no matching *-kmp installed or even available for installation and the userspace daemon does not work in ALSA mode on this hardware. This happens with the Package Manager Update 3 test packages from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test but should not block their release IMHO. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

So this might be intentional, zypp thinks that smartlink-softmodem can enhance my system and installs it for that reason. In that case it might be a smartlink-softmodem packaging glitch: For some reason, it thinks that it can do something useful on this hardware, but it cannot. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Even if it would technically work, I would not be allowed to use it on this hardware because of the smartlink license. The detection seems to be problematic, even the "scanModem" script detects it as smartlink at the beginning and corrects itself later: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz I will attack the output of "scanModem" (not sure if it's useful...) and /proc/asound (which is the place to find out that this is Conexant, not smartlink hardware). -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

OK, in that case it would be nice if the automatic installation of the (on this system useless) smartlink-softmodem package could be avoided.
