KIWI Image generation with update repositories

Hi,

I use openSuse Leap 42.1 and Kiwi version 7.03.68 to generate an OEM USB Key for installing our application easily for our clients.

The USB Key works with standard repositories (OSS and NON-OSS) and other repositories (example Pacman) but if I add Update repositories, the result is an application that can’t start in graphical mode :

when I try to launch X it write me that libfreetype.so.6 is missing.

So I think that some package in update repositories miss requested package in theirs definitions.

I hope you have understand my problem and if someone know where I can signalling this problem to opensuse packages managers it will solves me.

Thanks

Christophe

First,
AFAIK you don’t use Kiwi to install applications, Kiwi is used to create images which might include pre-installed applications. Of course, an application can be pre-installed or it can be dynamically installed by script.

So, you need to describe in detail what you are doing, perhaps even provide your commands and scripts for inspection.

As for the USB key, you also need to describe how you are using it… Are you building images that run openSUSE on a USB stick or are you using the USB key to hold gpg repo keys? If the latter, that’s totally unnecessary, you can script adding your repos to automatically accept the repo keys as I describe on a wiki page I recently created

As for the missing library file, that’s probably just an isolated mistake not related to the other things you describe.
As I originally noted, unless you describe in detail what you did, it’s not possible to identify exactly where you made your mistake.
