Hi & Welcome!

The segmentation fault could indicate a problem with the zypper database.
It’s been known to happen with 10.3.

Try this in a terminal console:


su -    #if you need to switch to root
cd /var/cache/zypp
rm zypp.db
zypper refresh

rpm --rebuilddb

The last rpm command rebuilds it’s own database & is probably not needed.

After this the install will possibly work!

Here is an older thread referring to this : yast crashes cleaning repositories - openSUSE Forums

Hope that helps,
Wj

ps. This does not work with 11.0 and later as zypper uses another db (sat-solver).

flint:/var/cache/zypp # ls /var/cache/zypp
packages  raw  solv
flint:/var/cache/zypp # ls /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db
ls: cannot access /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db: No such file or directory

there is no zypp.db
locate zypp.db
also can’t find it

Uhhh? Are you sure this is openSUSE 10.3?
