[WORKAROUND] Autoyast stage2 of OpenSUSE 13.2RC1 segfaults when using add-on section

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Just FYI: Current workaround is blacklisting the "libproxy1-config-kde4" 
package...
-------------
   <software>
     <remove-packages config:type="list">
       <package>libproxy1-config-kde4</package>
     </remove-packages>
   </software>
-------------

Best regards,
Joschi Brauchle
