Description Adrian Schröter 2008-10-06 07:57:03 UTC
kiwi unpacks always metapackages for all architectures, if they are found. This leads currently to unbootable SLES medias.
Comment 1 Jan-Christoph Bornschlegel 2008-10-06 09:31:55 UTC
The metapackages are not unpacked for all but for all _required_ archs, using the very same mechanism as the repopackages (including fallback).

To prevent that, simply specify 'onlyarch="..."' for the metapackage.

If they are unpacked anyway despite the "onlyarch", please speak up again, because then it's a bug :)
Comment 2 Adrian Schröter 2008-10-06 09:41:50 UTC
okay, so this is a product converter problem.
Comment 3 Adrian Schröter 2008-10-06 12:41:00 UTC
should be fixed now in svn.

Version is openSUSE 11.1 Beta2

/usr/lib/cracklib_dict.pwd.gz: No such file or directory

Steffen, looks like we need to add that file to the inst-sys?
ppc media are broken -> /dev/tonne

Hm, my last comment might be a bit of a shortcut; see bug 431861 for details.
