Description of problem: I have just done a standard installation for a server, selected packages: - console tools - documentation - work station - configuration - manual selection of packages -> openssh-server Then there is a configuration window for msec (security levels), and I can't select the server one, there is an error of a missing msec file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put boot.iso from Cauldron 2. Install selected (groups of) packages 3. Try to configure msec
You mean in the summary ?
The package is absent.
no [1] so can you explain a bit more ? http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/iso/cauldron/Mageia-2-beta1-x86_64/Mageia-2-beta1-x86_64-DVD.idx

I will check if this is reproductable.
What was your choice (DE or groups) ? with gnome and the iso of the beta, here both msec & msec-gui is installed (and msec is in the rpmsrate so should be installed)
Looks like msec was not installed due to a urpmi cascade error. The initial error is the attempt to select plasma-applet-kimpanel-backend-scim which is not listed in http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/iso/cauldron/Mageia-2-beta1-x86_64/Mageia-2-beta1-x86_64-DVD.idx There are no packages listed with scim in the name. Once that selection fails, all remaining packages in that urpmi transaction also fail to install.

Created attachment 1758 [details] report.bug.gz from minimal install with beta 2 where msec did not get installed. Wile trying out a workaround for Bug 4919, I did an install where I only selected Configuration and Console tools. During the summary, I clicked on the graphics card configuration, which installed the x server. In the security config, I entered a login id, and it failed with error: output in file /mnt/etc/security/msec/security.conf failed: No such file or directory While msecgui should not be installed if there is no x server, msec should be installed, as I understand it.
indeed, and according to the rpmsrate msec should be installed: INSTALL NOCOPY 5 ... i8kutils perl-Hal-Cdroms msec or I don't understand this part

You don't :-) INSTALL's packages are only ensured to be on the install CD but won't be automatically selected. That's the job of other package requires msec is pulled by drakconf through msec-gui

Again there's nothing in rpmsrate that would result in msec to be installed. Reread what I wrote in comment #11: this only make it to _be_ on the install DVD, not to be autoselected for install.
Most of it is later selected depending on HW, if network is set up, ... BTW I thin we miss sg to install msec when altering security.

Hi! But why there is a msec configuration tool in the installer? Even if it's not installed.
that's point is fixed in git
(In reply to comment #16) > that's point is fixed in git OK, then it can be closed as resolved. Thank you!
Note that itt's solved as in "not offering to select the security level" if msec is not installed, not as "installing msec if needed" which would be better
(In reply to comment #18) > Note that itt's solved as in "not offering to select the security level" if > msec is not installed, not as "installing msec if needed" which would be better For me it's sufficient.
