How do you reinstall software using yast. I have several corrupted installations do to my computer freezing during updating. If I uninstall first i will have to deal with dependency issues which is to complicated.
You can force a reinstallation with zypper,
zypper in -f *package*
Hope this works.
still get the same errors here is what happened when I did an update. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this

There are some running programs that use files deleted by recent upgrade. You may wish to restart some of them. Run ‘zypper ps’ to list these programs.
If I will do it in yast I will just enable the oss, non-oss and update repositories
If there are some multimedia issues involving third party repository I will leave the packman
repo enable also and will do the re-installation/update of package in a selective manner.
Before re-installation of the package you can look at the versions also to choose which one
to be installed. You can find it in one of the options in yast2.
Note:
You did not specify what DE you are using (kde/gnome etc) so it is hard to find out
exactly how you can do the right move.
Will you please show a list of your repositories? Show the results of
zypper lr -d
just to let you know the system crashed because of a mistake I made. I was updating the computer when I was debugging some programs. the program caused the computer to stop responding and I did a hard shutdown. I am using Gnome 3. it would be nice if I can use KDE but once i started using Gnome KDE would not start up. Gnome is way to buggy.

Next time, please wrap it in CODE tags. Remove or disable all repositories except #s 4, 5, 8, 9 and 11. Then first try
rpm --rebuilddb
and see if you can reinstall the software after that. If not, do a distribution upgrade,
zypper dup
This will install the original versions from the official and Packman repos.
cool it worked thanks dude
