2. the pattern conflicts with packages -> comment #7
Both issues cannot be fixed post-release anymore.
I tend to disagree, see below... (In reply to comment #18) (Per Jessen)

they should at least in theory be fixable with an online update (for people that include the update repo while installation).
How does one do that? By manually adding it with zypper?
"while installation" means you have to add it in YaST as additional repo in the installation. I just tested this (with a branch in home:cboltz) and it works partly: - YaST initially chooses the original pattern from 11.4 - I have to de-select and select the pattern to get the one from home:cboltz (which do not contain the Conflicts:) This behaviour might be caused by the different vendor - I'm hoping it would work in the official update repo because it has the same vendor there. And even if it does not work during installation, it would avoid a conflict dialog if someone installs additional packages later, after installing the online updates. (I did not check for side effects of removing the Conflicts:, but I'd expect that you get some additional "Recommended" packages installed.) Ludwig, do you think releasing an online update for the pattern would work? See home:cboltz:branches:openSUSE:11.4:Update:Test / patterns-openSUSE for test packages (without the Conflicts:). FYI: If I unselect the minimal_base pattern while installation, I get some interesting[tm] side effects, for example systemd instead of sysvinit (see bug 686397 for some details) - which is probably worse than some additional packages. (This probably affects installation only. Doing it later in the running system shouldn't do such changes.) (In reply to comment #19) (Zachary Zumbaugh)
2. Installed Python. When I got the error about Python(abi) I chose to remove openSUSE-minimal_base [...] What are the consequences for having removed this pattern?
You'll get some more packages installed. Wait, you actually wanted that... *g* Therefore: No consequences that are worth mentioning.
