Leap 16 cannot be installed

[imobachgs]

It is not possible to install Leap 16 because of some dependencies problems. It is not clear whether it is a problem in Agama's product definition or a real Leap 16 problem.

Originally reported in #906.

I would invoke @lkocman here.

Lubos, is this ALP-based Leap something that is really being developed and should be installable?

If so, please check what needs to be adapted at https://github.com/openSUSE/agama/blob/master/products.d/leap16.yaml (maybe the definition of patterns?)

If no, please tell us to (temporarily) remove that product from Agama selection

It seems there is some problem with the boost library, the latest version available in the Leap 16.0 is libboost_thread1_80_0-1.80.0-4.8.x86_64.rpm built on 4.1.2023. (see the repository)

[lkocman]

Feel free to close the issue. Leap 16 will be reworked, you will also see openSUSE Dolomite (or Marble) prior to Leap 16. Let's drop it for now.

[lkocman]

I'll make SR to drop it from configs.

@lkocman and me @bittin talked about this in todays openSUSE Release meeting

[bittin]

This is now temporarily removed, atleast from the new daily images that only does Tumbleweed and MicroOS for now

[imobachgs]

Thanks! I am closing the issue as the decision, by now, is to not offer Leap 16.
