Hi Andrea:

For now I have put "bittorrent" in OSCAR's base prereqs, meaning that
the package will be installed prior to SIS being installed.  This is
not ideal (IMHO) but does work.

If nobody from OSCAR objects, I will leave it at that.

Basically the issue is that in SystemImager 3.7.6, bittorrent RPM
dependency was removed such that RPMs can be distro-neutral (SuSE
calls it BitTorrent, RH/FC calls it bittorrent).  There is also a
check for bittorrent binaries in the %pre script, if it couldn't find
them the installation of systemimager-bittorrent would fail.  This
can't be bypassed simply by adding bittorrent to SIS' config.xml,
since there is no ordering involved.

Cheers,

Bernard
