Description Forgotten User mObCmCSq6Q 2006-01-05 11:14:42 UTC 
When Yast is invoked from konqueror to load an rpm package, the system may go to the package search dialogue reporting no errors but failing to load the package.

This will occur when the path to the rpm is on an nfs mount and has at least one element of the path that contains a space.

For example, if you have a server mounted at "/server" under which there is a path to an rpm "public/software/acme corp/testp_package.rpm", then the space in "acme corp" will cause the problem.

Using conqueror navigate to "/server/public/software/acme corp/testp_package.rpm" and click on the "Install Package with Yast" button. The root password will be requested and the yast software install window will be displayed showing the package search dialogue panel. No reason is given as to why yast took the user there.

Removing the space in "acme corp" will remove the problem and the package will be loaded.

Would it be possible to get the YaST commandline?

still waiting for info (comment #3)
Comment 7 Martin Lasarsch 2006-05-29 13:57:57 UTC 
i can only see yast -i, not the name of the rpm that should be installed.
Comment 8 Jiri Srain 2006-07-28 11:00:38 UTC 
Well, at least the error detection now works, YaST reports an error if it cannot install the package -> therefore FIXED.

If there is no package name on the command line, it is obviously not YaST error.
