openSUSE 11.1: YaST2 Software Mnmgt not working after Update

Solution 2: deinstallation of icewm-lite-1.3.8-1.2.x86_64

“Solution 1: deinstallation of icewm-default-1.3.8-1.2.x86_64” would be fine as well.
On a default 13.1 installation, icewm-lite is installed, not icewm-default.

But it doesn’t matter really, especially if you’re not going to use IceWM anyway.

Hi,

I did a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.1 i586. Everything worked fine.
Then I used YaST2 Software Management to add a package. Worked fine.

Then I did the Online Update to get the Installation up to date. Worked fine so far.
I had to restart the Machine because of the Kernel Bugfix Update.

Since then, the YaST2 Software Management is not working any more. When I do start it, it starts the software manager, shows the “Search Phrase” and so on but when I enter a word and press “RETURN” the software manager immediately closes and takes me back to the YaST2 start screen. No messages, no warnings, nothing.

With zypper I�m able to install software but no longer within YaST2.

Can anybody give me a hand on this?

Kind regards

Thomas

I did a fresh install as well same thing happened to me. I fixed my system by booting into the installation media and selecting upgrade. I opted to delete packages when the upgrade gave me a warning.

Selecting upgrade does not do a new install. if simply brings the default package back to the original versions keeping all the potentially incorrect/broken config files. A fresh install will reformat the root partition replacing everything in root
