Description Tim Fechtner 2006-04-07 17:38:53 UTC
Yast installation sources have to be yast sources. You can't use normal directories with downloaded rpm on your hard disk, like it was possible in 10.0.
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-04-10 15:42:34 UTC
Please be more verbose, what kind of installation source are you trying to add, what is the exact error? Also attach /var/log/YaST2 as tarball.
Comment 2 Michael Gross 2006-04-13 06:56:24 UTC
Please reopen this report once you can provide more information.

Sorry for answering late. (Also next time I'll provide directly more information...)

When I click on the rpm in KDE / Konqueror, then I get a preview in KRPMViewer. Clicking on "Install with yast" or "Use directory as yast source" seems to have no effect.

Then I've done the following:
- calling YaST
- Software / Change installation source
- Add source / local directory
- choosen /home/*/Documents/rpms (Which contains a downloaded rpm of scribus which I want to install. It isn't a regular yast source.)
- displayes message that no yast source could be created.
- the directory isn't added.

When I click with the right mouse button in konqueror at the rpm and choose "Actions/Install with YaST", then yast starts, but displayes the message "no se han encontrado los siguientes paquetes en el soporte: scribus". ("The following packages couldn't be found: scribus")

Doing the installation in konsole however works:

linux-2z9m:/home/josemiguelbello/Documents/rpms # rpm -i scribus.rpm
warning: scribus.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID f60166da
linux-2z9m:/home/josemiguelbello/Documents/rpms #

Program gets installed and is working.

I don't think it is a duplicate, but anyway - installation sources as just direcotries with rpms are not supported now. Will be in SP1/SL10.2
Comment 7 Tim Fechtner 2006-05-23 11:59:19 UTC
As this bug was marked as duplicate of 130102 (who is about installing rpm's via yast with konqueror), I had filled out a new bug report concerning only the impossiblility to use rpm-only folders as installation sources (bug 177905). Should this be merged?
Comment 8 Tim Fechtner 2006-12-09 16:16:37 UTC
Verified in 10.2 final.
Comment 9 Tim Fechtner 2006-12-09 16:17:17 UTC
Closing.
