More or less. By that I mean, the install has correctly failed in all the
places I would expect it to fail.

is a benign error. The installer could be a little more intelligent here.

seems to be two errors. My guess is that if you run insserv on its own you
will get the apachevisas error, whether you install Firebird or not.

The other error has been showing up in SuSE 8.1 installs for years (alright,
one year.) Again, I think it is benign. And /SRC/services.c is a SUSE file.
It is not called directly by the Firebird install script.

This one:

is your problem. I tried a CS install yesterday under SUSE 9.0 and had to
fiddle around a bit. Partly because I didn't have vim installed.

I always add hostname.networkname to hosts.equiv (although I've never had
time to confirm whether it is needed or not.) That may help.

If I get time I'll try an SS install on SuSE 8.1 over the weekend.
