Installation aborts when unsuccessful adding further install sources
Last modified: 2006-11-01 09:35:35 UTC
After a successful registering of the product during installation the installer offers you to add further installation sources. When selecting the source "inst-source-extra" a lot of sources will be scanned till an error occurs: a x86_64-source can't be added. Retrying did not solve the probem so I selected "abort" at this "error window". That causes the whole installation process to abort and booting into the system. I see two problems here: - why is the system trying to add a x86_64 source to i386 system? - why is installtion aborted when I just want end adding of a additional installation source?

the second problem is dupe of bug 214886
The first problem will be solved here, lslezak is a maintainer of extra-sources. The second one will be solved in bug 214886.
Are you sure this is a x86_64 source? It's a tri-arch source supporting x86-64, x86 and ppc.
No, that was just a guess. ;-) But I was wondering why there are errors regarding a x86_64 source/package
The x86_64 error message is OK, zypp loads all patterns from a source, the architecture for a pattern is read from the content not from a file name. So later are all non-i386 patterns ignored. (Duncan, is that true? This seems to be a good place for optimization...) The abort problem is duplicate of bug #214886. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 214886 ***
