Description Tim Fechtner 2006-01-23 21:31:25 UTC 
When you use yast to install varios rpms from a local directory, and in the path to the directory is a space, then the installation will fail. (However adding the directory as source works without problems, only later the installation fails). Here I used the path

/home/timi/Documents/OOo_2.0.151_LinuxIntel_install/SRC680_m151_native_packed-1_en-US.8998/RPM S/

as example. When I rename the directory from "RPM S" to "RPMS" and to the necessary changes for the installation sources, than the installation works fine.

I'll attach a screenshot and the error message of the installation.

I think this problem is known and was intended that way because of how the parser handles these paths. Nontheless maby this can be enhanced one day.
Jiri: Please comment on that.

The URL handling in 10.1 should handle this properly
