Description Joe Harmon 2008-08-20 16:52:41 UTC

We have an add on product that we are using for openSUSE 11.0. This same add on product (Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP1) functions properly during the add on product selection under SLE 10. However when this was build for openSUSE 11.0 we ran into an issue with installing it as an add on product. When it is installed as an add on product, it is supposed to preselect all of the rpms to be installed. It is not selecting them and they have to be selected manually. This is the same whether we use qt, gtk, or ncurses.

Many things have changed since SLE10 so I'd like to know:

* How do you make that add-on to preselect those RPMs automatically
  (on SLE 10, how do you expect to work)?
* Where can I find an ISO to test it?
* Could you, please, attach YaST logs from 11.0?

Comment 4 Lukas Ocilka 2008-09-17 09:21:32 UTC

See y2log-1.gz
Add-On doesn't have any required patterns (PATTERNS in content)

See ftp://farek.provo.novell.com/install/ncl/20080916/11.0/x86_64/content
REQUIRES pattern:novell-ncl

According to libzypp guys, "REQUIRES" has been dropped and the only way is to use "PATTERNS" which lists (space separated) patterns required by the product. Anyway, this is not a libzypp dependency so "PATTERNS" will only work just once when the add-on is used (added) by YaST, see http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Repositories/YaST/content

Comment 9 Lukas Ocilka 2008-09-19 10:32:01 UTC

- Fixed handling of 'PATTERNS' in content file (bnc #418821).
