[sles-beta] SLES 12 Beta 10 leaves autoinst.xml file which installs smaller set of rpms than manual install

[Stefan Schubert]

Yes, that's a known issue:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887118

The problem is, that libzypp does save the current state of the package 
only:
E.g.  The user selects a package for installation. So the package has 
the state
will be installed and is selected by the user for the installation. 
After the installation the package
has the state: is installed by the system/libzypp. Which is also true 
but the previous
information has been lost. At that point the /root/autoinst.xml will be
generated.
So the generated autoinst.xml via the button in the installation overview
(before starting the real installation) produce a valid package selection.
Yes, I know there is an inconsistency but we are working on it to find a 
better solution for. :-)

Greetings
Stefan
