Thanks for the clarification. Does that mean that I cannot install the package with the --excludedocs option at all ever ?

Not sure, why the postinstall section is expecting the document to be present. Could you please help me out.

This is a notification service for important behaviour changes between suse distribution versions. Whenever you install a package than has some significant changes, some information is mailed to root and added to /var/log/update-messages. -- Michel Messerschmidt lists@michel-messerschmidt.de antiVirusTestCenter, Computer Science, University of Hamburg Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
