Neither yast sw_single nor zypper is able to install VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386.rpm
Last modified: 2008-10-10 12:47:24 UTC
since this rpm cares a sh*t about sane EULA handling. Maybe you as NOVELL can get them back to sanity, but handling stdin in post sections is something, what yum is able to handle correctly.
could you copy and paste the output of the install failure with zypper, please?

One can get around that stall by hitting <Return> and <y> <e> <s> <Return>, but how would I know, if I hadn't installed it with yum before.
What does yum do? Doesn't it wait for stdin?

OK, now i see yum just writes everything the %post script to stdout. But then you had to type 'yes<enter>' to proceed, or?

What if you say no ?

OK, so, as far as the packages waiting for stdin are concerned, we consider them buggy. The problem of zypper hiding the output from rpm will be handled in bug 369450, so i'll mark this one as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 369450 ***
