Description Uwe Köhler 2008-06-21 19:10:53 UTC

I changed the installation option to use tar ball instead of rpm packages. I switched it off by mistake and reactivated it. As a result, the installation failed with warnings the libzio could not be found.

Installation without changing the option worked fine from tar balls.

Hello, 

could you provide yast2 logs ?

Thanks

Please next time remove NEEDINFO status by selecting "This comment/attachment 
provides ..." checkbox after supplying needed information. Reassigning to maintainers.

Comment 4 Michal Zugec 2008-07-16 15:17:27 UTC

Lukas, please look at this - maybe packaging problem (and we need content of /var/log/YaST2/*, not /tmp/*)

Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2008-07-17 10:43:42 UTC

Unable to reproduce. Please, provide steps how to reproduce plus YaST logs.

I reproduced the behaviour on my system, but I haven't got the time to go through the steps again. Just got the 64bit KDE 4 system stable. The hangup during the installation does not allow the creation of the yast2 logs and I did send what I could find.

On my system it was reproducible when changing the setting "Installation from tarballs" from true to false and back to true before proceeding with the installation. During the first attempt (no additional packages selected) I got the libzio warnings and a hangup, while during the second attempt (additionally choose nano package) the system completely froze. If I am the only one with the problem, I do not mind. A beginner might be put off, though. I did install from tarballs in the end without any problems after keeping my fingers of that option ;-)

Hope that helped, anyway. Sorry.

Comment 7 Lukas Ocilka 2008-08-04 10:08:07 UTC

I'm sorry but I can't do anything without YaST logs being attached as I can't reproduce it. Closing as NORESPONSE.

If you reproduce it, please, attach the YaST logs and reopen the bug.
