[sle-beta] Problems getting autoyast2 working on SLES 15 GMC

[Scott Garman]

Hi there,

I first posted this on the Suse Support Forum and was referred to this 
mailing list.

I'm trying to get an autoyast setup working with SLES 15 GMC. I've 
generated an autoinst.xml from a manual install of the OS, but I cannot 
seem to use it to perform an automated install. The automated install 
begins, but during the "Configure software selections" step, I get the 
error:

These packages cannot be found in the software repositories:
autoyast2: The package is not available
autoyast2-installation: The package is not available

This then prevents the auto-installer from proceeding to stage2 where I 
need a few additional packages installed (kernel-devel, gcc, make, etc).

I've tried this by also enabling my SLES 15 beta registration code in 
the autoinst.xml file, but with the same results. I've included a 
sanitized autoinst.xml file below (without the suse_register section). 
Please let me know what I'm doing incorrectly.

Thanks,

Scott
