Error Loading Language Plugin /usr/lib64/yast2/plugin/libpy2lang_perl.

Installed ICU package recommended by Updater.
During the installation process lots of packages were removed.
During the installation of ICU the update process stopped.
Now I cannot run Software Manager anymore due to error :
=>
Error loading language plugin /usr/lib64/YaST2/plugin/libpy2lang_perl.so: libzypp.so.324: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

When I hoover with mouse over updater I see this message :
=>
Error: Can't launch zypp-checkpatches-wrapper helper program. Make sure zyooer package is installed and working.

I loaded the DVD with RPM packages and tried to install zypper.
Now I get these errors:
=>

I second this. Ouch! I accepted 3 updates and went surfing. After a while I noticed at lot more was being done than install 3 updates. Now I have the same problem. Can't access Software Management, Repositories, Online Update from Yast.

This problem looks very similar to the one described in this thread

I am not at my machine, so I can't say whether it will solve the problem or not. I'll check it out later.

Edit: Duh! That thread is from last November .. the symptoms are exactly alike, but the package that might have hosed the system must be different, because I don't have Boost installed.

Has anyone found a fix for this? I am having the same problems described above and not been able to get yast working again. I looked through this thread about it http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showto...py2lang_perl.so but I don't have boost installed. I read in a another thread the to run a repair from the DVD to correct this. What things should I be on the look out for if I do this? I don't want to end up screwing the system up any further? Will I lose anything if I do the repair such as personal data, settings or apps?

Thanks
