Thanks for your answer.
This is because the update repos are in the rpm-md format which knows nothing about file provides (like /bin/sh) but contains files that need this. That would actually explain the errors I got concerning e.g. /bin/sh.

The only way i know to workaround this is to transfer them into the yast2 format with the EXTRA_PROV file from the 10.1 repos.
I guess you meant this file: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source... Doesn't it look quite short?
Yes this one.
Could you please give me some further hint how to convert it into yast2 format and howto get it loaded from y2pmbuild?
You need to change the repository so you cant use one from the mirrors directly. You have to download it to your local harddisk and create the metadata. See http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources#YaST_Sources for details. I have a script that does this on my buildhost. Looks like this http://hennevogel.de/~hvogel/netsourcesync.sh You can exchange the directory to download too and get the EXTRA_PROV file with wget but everything else should be ok.
