Hi Brian,

If it is fine to ask about AutoYaST in this mailing list, even if it is not=

openSUSE. After all, the AutoYaST code is pretty much the same in both case=
s.

Actually, AutoYaST just relies on libzypp when it comes to select packages =
for=20
installation/upgrade and solve dependencies. So there is no way to influenc=

that.

Yes, it assumes that you are trying to install a package called like that.
Sorry, but you cannot select an specific version. Perhaps you could workaro=
und=20
this problem but writing a post-script that "downgrades" bash to the versio=
n=20
you want after installation. Just an idea...
