How does one get the missing package dtv-scan-tables created and added to the 42.2 repositories?
For the first part of your question I used https://software.opensuse.org/search and I found two individual users that packaged it for Leap 42.2.
It also shows that that package was in openSUSE 13.2 and it is in Tumbleweed. However it fails in the official Leap 42.1 and 42.2 repos.
For the second part of your question you could try at https://features.opensuse.org/
Hi
Probably a bug report to the maintainers since it’s failing… This would also be the reason it never made it into openSUSE Leap 42.2/
