Hey there,
I ran into the same problem and I don’t know if my solution will work for you. Yast was giving me the same error message. I tried every solution I could find until I tried removing yast completely from my system with the intention of reinstalling it.

#zypper rm yast*

When I tried reinstalling yast I came accross a curius situation, the system complained about stale nfs handles in /usr/lib/YaSt2/plugins which turned out to be libpy2Pkg.so.2.0.0 … I don’t know why this happened, maybe one of you has seen this before…

Anyway removing the directory (/usr/lib/YaSt2) and reinstalling yast (#zypper in yast2) and the yast2-qt as well as yast2-ncurses modules resolved all my problems.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the post, I’ve had a similar problem, removed yast* using zypper but had to install more than just ncurses and qt modules for it to actually be useful. Watch the list of modules that get uninstalled as you go.
