Package installation failed

The ‘initscripts’ package provides scripts for the initialization process of the system, and it’s unusual that it’s not available by default on a SUSE system.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Update the Package Repository

    Ensure that your system is configured to use the correct repositories and that they are up to date. Run the following commands:

    • sudo zypper refresh

  2. Install initscripts:

    Try installing the ‘initscripts’ package explicitly. If it’s not available in the current repositories, you may need to adjust your repository settings or add additional repositories.

    • sudo zypper install initscripts
