Solved: osc on minimal server install

[Andreas Färber]

Hi,

I had been having problems installing osc due to its python-urlgrabber
dependency. This problem persisted now that finally a new set of
packages got published to powerpc.opensuse.org. It turned out,
python-urlgrabber had a dependency on python = 2.7, which conflicted
with patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts. Uninstalling the latter
resolved the issue.

Where does that package come from, why doesn't it like python 2.7, and
can we fix this properly? There is a similar report for 12.1 x86_64 [1].

Regards,
Andreas

patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base is a known issue, if you want the real
"python" and not just "python-base" it needs to be replaced by a larger set.

So it is fine if this pattern is disabled, it is the same on the x86 openSUSE.
