YOU on suse 9.1 crashes after update

I've just performed an online update to suse 9.1, which appeared to install
all patches correctly.

However, if I now attempt to open any of the update options in the YaST
software section they crash without loading.

Any Ideas?

Hi Dan,

can you check what was updated.
In 10.0 it is in /var/lib/YaST2/you/youlog.

Hi Rajko

I've attached a copy of the youlog file.

As you can see I performed a full update, after a clean re-install.

This should be a fix for your problem:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/upda...emanager-52881

"Longdescription.english:
This fix solves the problem that the second yast2 online
update fails after 1st online update."

There is more versions of rpm in the:
yast2-packagemanager-2.9.52-0.2.i586.rpm
yast2-packagemanager-2.9.63-0.5.i586.rpm
yast2-packagemanager-2.9.67-0.4.i586.rpm
but only last is the fix.

It seems that you used some outdated update source.
Open yast and if your only installation source is CD you can "update"
package manager to version on CD. Just click

After that put manually ftp://ftp.gwdg.de as a server and run update.
Let me know the result

Great, it took me a while to figure out what I needed to do but I
successfully downloaded the .rpm from the server and updated the package
manager.

Everything seems ok now, thanks for your help.

You are welcome Dan.
I wanted to recommend yast2-packagemanager "update" from CD which will
reverse to version on CD, than to run update again, but using ftp.gwdg.de
repository. I use rpm, but sometimes, due to dependencies, one need some
experience to resolve the problem(s). That was one of first reasons why
SUSE developed YaST.

Thanks for the feedback.
