Kernel and joystick packages cannot be installed

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions 5.1, 1st Edition to 5.1, 2nd Edition

Symptom:

You try to install the kernel sources (package lx_suse or linux) as well as the joystick package. rpm announces some errors and the packages are not installed completely.

Cause:

You have to install the packages in order.

First (due to the alphabet) joystick.rpm is installed which creates the directory /usr/include/linux. Well, this directory should be a symbolic link as given in the lx_suse package. As it has been already created by the joystick package it is not possible to install the kernel package correctly.

Solution:

This bug has been removed on S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 (3rd issue) (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse,directoreis d1 and d2)

If you want to avoid this error procede as follows

  1. Deinstall the packages lx_suse (or linux) and the package joystick.

  2. Delete this directory manually: 
    cd /usr/include && rm -fr linux

  3. Now install the package lx_suse.

  4. Thereafter install the package joystick Now you're set..
