Some packages installed via the build service (notably, apache2-mod_auth_mysql [1]) conflict with the sp1 migration patch
This is the Build Service mailing list, you should probably ask on some other list about package manager problems.
My apologies, is there a more appropriate list to discuss problems with build service repositories and which distros they're built for? The only other list I saw that seemed remotely connected to this was opensuse-softwaremgmt, but it appears to be dead.
But that's probably not the intention of the "Obsoletes", my guess is that "apache2-mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-15" should be installed instead.
Is it correct that I should continue using packages from "SLE 11" repos in sp1, etc.?
Probably not for packages that are included in SP1. As there seems to be a "apache2-mod_auth_mysql" in SP1 you're no longer in a supported state when you install the package from the build service.
I can't find a package of version 3.0.0-15 anywhere in the build
service, and the package does not appear to be included in SLES11 sp1
(it's not in the SLES11-SP1-pool repo). I am already aware that
packages from the build service are not included in the SLES support
contract. I'm OK with the "uninstall mod_auth_mysql, install migration
patch, reinstall mod_auth_mysql" workaround as long as it's not
reflecting a deeper problem.
I'll try emailing the "bugowner" of the Apache:Modules project (since
there are seven "maintainers") for further guidance. Thanks for your
pointers.
