[opensuse-factory] how to investigate problem of DUD file not handled by yast ?
Hello there, I want to provide a new powerpc-utils rpm via a DUD, for yast to use this new rpm rather than the one from installed DVD. Is it supposed to work ? My trials are not successfull, and the y2log continue to show installation of "old" rpm from DVD. I am not able to find in y2log a reference to a repo that could be associated to the DUD file retrieved by linuxrc. Do you have any idea on how I should investigate such problem ? I tried using mkdud either pointing to a dir (1) or a specific rpm (2) but that do not change the behaviour. === (1) $mkdud -c boo1011529_3.dud --dist tw /home/michel/buildtmp/build-root/standard-ppc64le/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/ppc64le/ === (2) $mkdud -c boo1011529_5.dud --dist tw /home/michel/buildtmp/build-root/standard-ppc64le/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/ppc64le/powerpc-utils-1.3.2-9.ppc64le.rpm === linuxrc output extract: ok, ip = 10.0.2.15/24 Loading http://stade.lab.toulouse-stg.fr.ibm.com/~normand/boo1011529_5.dud - 100% http://stade.lab.toulouse-stg.fr.ibm.com/~normand/boo1011529_5.dud: adding to installation system Driver Updates added: ~normand/boo1011529_5.dud === -- Michel Normand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The dud is handled by linuxrc as creating a mounted squashfs (1) But how this dud information is supposed to be passed between linuxrc and yast ?

Yes, it is. At least it works for me in SLES12-SP2.
$mkdud -c boo1011529_3.dud --dist tw /home/michel/buildtmp/build-root/standard-ppc64le/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/ppc64le/
My suspection is that the "tw" distribution name actually does not match the real Tumbleweed identification seen by linuxrc and then the DUD is ignored...

Linuxrc creates /add_on_products.xml file which is then read by YaST, it should
contain something like this:
# cat /add_on_products.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>

http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns"> <name>Driver Update 0</name> <url>dir:///update/000/repo?alias=DriverUpdate0</url> <priority config:type="integer">50</priority> The URL should point to the directory with your packages (/update/000/repo in this case). Check that the directory is there and contains the expected packages.
In this case it was tested in SLE12-SP2 with "--dist sle12" option. Unfortunately I do not know what's the correct distribution identifier for Tumbleweed... :-(
Or maybe there is bug in linuxrc and it does not create that add_on_products.xml file.
Thank you Ladislav for those details. I just created a new bug https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012241 to continue investigation. -- Michel Normand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Check /var/log/linuxrc.log (during installation). It should provide
some insight.
