I am running into unexpected behaviour using (or trying to use) vadk:PackagesToRemove. Has anyone had any success with this section? Or does anyone have any insight to share?
I name a PackageGroup that contains package X in JEOSSection_Type/OSPackages, and then list X in PackagesToRemove. With this declaration, I expect the named group to be installed and then the package X to be uninstalled, but X is not uninstalled and appears in .../status/packages.txt
Any help/explanation here would be much appreciated. Am I misinterpreting PackagesToRemove? Is there a problem with PackagesToRemove? Or?
For context, I am running VMware Studio 2.5.0.0 Build 387333 and installing an Oracle Linux 6.3 guest (based on the included RHEL 6.0 profile). The relevant portion of the build profile is:
<Section xsi:type="vadk:ApplicationSection_Type">
...
<vadk:PackagesToRemove>
<vadk:Package vadk:name="NetworkManager-gnome"/>
<vadk:Package vadk:name="NetworkManager"/>
</vadk:PackagesToRemove>
...
</Section>
...
<Section xsi:type="vadk:JEOSSection_Type">
...
<vadk:OSPackages>
...
<vadk:PackageGroup vadk:value="basic-desktop"/>
...
</vadk:OSPackages>
...
</Section>
