Something is wrong with Yast on my laptop, every time I try to install something it downloads the package but then when it start installing it, an error message pops-up :

I’ve tried to install via yast using ncurses interface too, and the same happens. Also I’m using OpenSuse 11.0 .

Could it be that your rpm database is corrupted?

If so, there is an old guide here that is still relevant.
Repair an RPM database safely

… note all the precautions it recommends. Once you have backed up as appropriate (per that URL) then you could try with root permissions:

rpm -vv --rebuilddb

Woot! Fixed! Can install thing again :slight_smile: . Thank you very much!

Great! Glad to read the rebuild worked.
