Description Erik Jacobson 2005-11-01 15:32:23 UTC

If you type 'yast2' by accident in SL10 ssh install mode, it blows up.
I don't believe 'yast2' used to be an option for SLES.  In SL10, the
program exists in ssh install mode but does this when you type it out
of habbit:

inst-sys:~ # yast2
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/yast2: line 66: getopt: command not found
Exit.

Just to be sure: This problem occurs with the SUSE Linux 10.0 installation system?

What do you mean by this... or what has SLES to do with this problem?

Comment 2 Erik Jacobson 2005-11-02 14:48:55 UTC

Right, in the SUSE Linux 10.0 install system.
This is the non-official ia64 version.

I had run this by Gerald and he suggested to file this.  I by no means feel
it is urgent to fix.

If I don't follow the instructions and type 'yast2' because of habbit, it
fails with an error I didn't expect (pasted in the description).

I only mentioned SLES to say that when I type yast2 by accident there, I don't
think I get the error.  I could try it if you want.  SLES doesn't have anything
to do with it otherwise.

Comment 3 Michael Gross 2005-11-02 15:48:26 UTC

OK. It appears that /usr/bin/getopt is just missing in the installation environment, so that YaST bails out. It should be added.
Steffen: Something for you?

Comment 4 Stefan Hundhammer 2005-11-02 16:13:10 UTC

Probably we should simply throw /sbin/yast2 out of the inst-sys. It doesn't do anything useful there.

Marcus? Do we need /sbin/yast2 in the inst-sys? AFAICS none of our startup script uses it, right?

Comment 5 Marcus Schaefer 2005-11-07 09:47:29 UTC

as far as I know /sbin/yast is the only valid link to the startup script
YaST2.First-Stage. I never make use of /sbin/yast2 in the scripts.

I think Steffen can decide to remove it

Comment 6 Steffen Winterfeldt 2005-11-15 13:58:07 UTC

There is no such thing as /sbin/yast2. We are talking about /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/yast2 (see comment 0).

Problem is that /usr/lib/YaST2/bin is part of $PATH. Taking it out now.
Hope it won't break too much.
