Description Seth Chaiklin 2006-03-14 12:23:18 UTC 
As reported in another bug, I am not able to save installation sources.

However, I started System Update, and then selected:

Update with New Software and Features based on the Selection 
under "Update Mode" 

This crashes "System Update" -- presumably because no sources are found, but I assume that you do not find this to be acceptable behavior.

Here is a relevant piece of y2log, followed by a list of relevant yast2 packages that are installed.

Comment 1 Lukas Ocilka 2006-03-17 13:21:58 UTC 
Seth, which system did you want to update?
SL 10.0 to 10.1 by adding a new installation source and runnning `yast2 update`?
Or some older 10.1 Beta to SL 10.1 Beta6?
Comment 2 Seth Chaiklin 2006-03-17 21:43:31 UTC 
I was trying to update an older 10.1 Beta to Beta6.

I started with SL 10.0, and was been updating the betas as they come out (10.0.42). Around beta4, various Yast problems appeared, so that Software Management and System Update were no longer functional, so I have been
using Kpackager to update (from the same /factory directory.

Around beta4, System Update would report "unknown" system.
Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2006-04-21 12:10:55 UTC 
Jsrain: Update.ycp fill_version_map() might be problematic with versions finishing "Beta[0-9]"
The function has no comment, so I could only guess :)
Comment 4 Lukas Ocilka 2006-04-21 12:14:12 UTC 
This might be the same issue (but another case) as in the bug 157924.
Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2006-05-11 16:23:41 UTC 
Works well now, but might be problematic in the next Beta phase.
Comment 6 Jiri Srain 2006-08-08 12:30:46 UTC 
Fixed in SVN (hopefully, could not find any beta)
