Description Martin Vidner 2005-11-14 10:11:34 UTC 
Symptoms:
- yast does not detect hardware
- /var/log/YaST2/y2log says "Couldn't find an agent to handle '.probe.foo'"

The cause is that we have split off hardware detection to a new package, yast2-hardware-detection, but forgot to add it to the dependencies.
You need to select it manually in the package selection.

This is fixed for subsequent alphas (yast2.rpm got Requires: yast2-hardware-detection) but the package should be added to the YAST2 selection so that it does not show up in the window "packages added due to dependency resolution". Stefan, please.
