I am trying to add online repos through YaST Control Center -> Community Repositories, but I allways get either
*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base: free(): invalid pointer: 0x00002b4cc434a192
or the process just hangs up
Any1 knows how can i fix my problem ?
Hi & welcome!
Which openSUSE version are you running?
It’s possible you first need to remove all your listed repositories, - apply & close - before you can add a new one (due to a problem with your repo cache/listing).
Could you post the output of ’ zypper lr ’ ?
Cheers,

1 | Yes | No | yast2 | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3
It also states my SUSE version
I dont have any repositories checked in my List of Repositories
Thanks for the output.
For openSUSE 10.3 check this post : yast crashes cleaning repositories - openSUSE Forums
You can safely try cleaning up your current zypper cache by following the steps mentioned in post#4.
(Just for the record, with openSUSE 11.0 and up, zypper has a different database… so this option is not relevant.)
Could be that sorts it for you.
