Thanks Robert very much for all the information.
I inserted the this line within the rest of the package section.
<packages type="image" patternType="onlyRequired">
<package name="wdiff"/>
<package name="lockdev"/>
<ignore name="lxde-common-branding-openSUSE"/>
</packages>
Despite this line being inserted into the package list this SUSE
package still conflicts with my branding package. If I disable
(comment out) the pattern "lxde" this issue goes away, however there
are other packages from the "lxde" patter that I need. This has
happened some other packages as well. I really hopeing that the
"ignore" element would work to finally resolve this issue. Any idea
what's going on here. Is my syntax incorrect in my example?
Chris
I will post further kiwi related questions to the kiwi ML.

so I'll try here for some help with this. In my config.xml (kiwi file) I have a bunch of branding files that are going to replace the existing Suse branding files. I have a list of packages and a list of patterns that are to be installed. Since my branding package is to replace (and conflict) with the Suse version of it, the build will fail if the equivalent Suse branding package is being installed also. Although the Suse package isn't actually in the list of packages it is part of the "lxde" pattern. I read in the kiwi doc pdf file that reads "If a pattern contains unwanted packages, you can use the ignore element to specify an ignore list, with the name attribute containing the package name." I can't find any examples as to how to use this 'ignore' element within my config.xml file. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
<packages> .... <ignore name="THE_PACKAGE_YOU_WANT_TO_IGNORE"/> ..... </packages>
The schema documentation is in:
/usr/share/doc/packages/kiwi/schema/kiwi.html
installed with the kiwi-doc package. Point your browser at this file and things should be fairly obvious.
HTH, Robert
