The Yast2 logs

I'm not sure it has everything as due to lack of space after the install (for some reason I run out complete of free space) I cleaned some files from my system including some of the Yast logs.

I can see the bug:
1. The solver allows downgrades while an upgrade due to vendor id. Concerned packages which will be downgrade:
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]speex-1.0.5-9.x86_64
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]kernel-default-2.6.16-8.x86_64
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]kerry-0.1-2.x86_64
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]libdvdread-0.9.4-157.x86_64
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]kde3-i18n-hu-3.5.1-9.noarch
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]kde3-i18n-de-3.5.1-9.noarch
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]kernel-source-2.6.16-8.x86_64
INSTALL (SuSE version downgrade): U_Th_[package]wine-0.9.5-13.i586

2. The packages on CD1 will be installed with --force --nodeps after the first tries had failed.

3. After booting the concerning pool items will be evaluate by the name and architecture again (via the call PkgModuleFunctions::DoProvideNameKind).
This fails cause the installed version is greater than the new:

2006-04-01 17:28:02 <1> stein(3915) [wfm] Package.cc(DoProvideNameKind):561 DoProvideNameKind gnome-mime-data -> Bad
2006-04-01 17:28:02 <1> stein(3915) [wfm] Package.cc(DoProvideNameKind):561 DoProvideNameKind libdvdread -> Bad
2006-04-01 17:28:02 <1> stein(3915) [wfm] Package.cc(DoProvideNameKind):561 DoProvideNameKind speex -> Bad
2006-04-01 17:28:02 <1> stein(3915) [wfm] Package.cc(DoProvideNameKind):561 DoProvideNameKind wine -> Bad
2006-04-01 17:28:02 <1> stein(3915) [wfm] Package.cc(DoProvideNameKind):561 DoProvideNameKind kernel-source -> Bad

So these packages will not be installed, cause they have not been reselected for installation/update.

The following patch does conern packages which are NOT installed only.
Stano, Michl, could you please check it, if it is OK ? Thanks !!!

Stano is the patch OK?

I think the patch is already applied in SVN.

Right, it's already there => FIXED
