[opensuse] AutoYast: Could not set patterns or selections: novell-ncl

27 Jul 2007

      We are trying to use AutoYast to automate installs of SLED on employees PCs.  Everything works smoothly except when we attempt to install the Novell Client via the add-on feature.  It worked fine on SLED10 SP0, but bombs out on SLED 10 SP1.  Right before it begins to format the drives I get this error: "Could not set patterns or selections: novell-ncl".

Here is my autoyast.xml file:

The Novell 1.2 client is untarred in http://dss-cs99la36/installs/ncl .

We are thinking it has something to do with certificate errors.  Perhaps we have put the lines pertaining to ignoring certificate errors in the wrong place?

Any ideas?
