Reactivating network services for a selected chroot environment

English Network/Internet
#1

I would like to install current software packages.
Unfortunately, I stumbled on special system dependencies where *(https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190008#c31).
I am trying to adjust remaining open issues by the means of another chroot environment.

Internet access needs further considerations here.
Other users came also along similar system configuration challenges for the reactivation of network access.
How will the chances evolve for improving the reported software situation?

**markus-elfring@bw-wst-linux1**:**~/root-Alternative**$ sudo ls -l ${chr}etc/resolv.conf 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Aug 31 10:57 /home/markus-elfring/root-Alternative/etc/resolv.conf -> /run/netconfig/resolv.conf

Would you like to suggest any approaches for getting the corresponding network services to run as expected (within the “changed root”)?*

I can copy data from a working system into the file “~/root-Alternative/etc/resolv.conf” for example.
(A symbolic link can temporarily be replaced by a special file variant.)

I observe the next system configuration challenges then.

Which system settings should be accordingly adjusted? :\

It seems that this software installation helped a bit. :slight_smile:

Some system configuration steps enabled the update for a lot of software packages.
The desired distribution upgrade succeeded then as expected finally.
