I got a dependence error message “libzypp-4.26.7-0.1.i586 requires satsolver-tools = 0.9.2, but this requirement cannot be provided” during my auto-update program was upgrading the system recently.
After I installed satsolver-tools 0.9.2-1.1 from opensuse and restarted OS, auto-update still shows this dependency error.
Any ideas? 
Thanks in advancd.
use Yast - Software Managment
filter by repo’s and select updates
check any that need updating
if errors show - you can save them to a text file to post here
this should give us more info
it may also give you an answer, as the detail in the error box usually indicates what to do.
From Yast - Software Managment, I manually updated all obsolete packages by ignoring some dependency error. After that, the system and applications run more smoothly and faster.
unfortunately, Yast won’t work any more, when I start it, I can see HD LED flashing for a while then stops, neither any Yast windows nor any error messages pop up.
auto-update won’t work either -“getting update lists failed”.
package-manager gives me the following error message:
libzypp.so.424 => not found
warning: the gtk frontend is installed but does not work
Qt GUI wanted but not found, falling back to ncurses.
Error while creating client module sw_single
Anything I can do to fix this or I have to re-install the OS?
are you using gnome or kde
and do you have any other package manager installed: ie smart
or
does install software work
I’m using gnome most of the time, but I have a user account which is set up to run kde4.1. I have tired that yast won’t work under kde either.
install software gives the same error message:
libzypp.so.424 => not found
warning: the gtk frontend is installed but does not work
Qt GUI wanted but not found, falling back to ncurses.
Error while creating client module sw_single
I can’t install smart or any other programs, it seems that all programs related to software install/update stop working right now including the 1-click install from opensuse repository. Also shows “libzypp.so.424 => not found”.
is there any way I can re-install the whole yast package under this circumstance?
I am having a similar issue…mine started today when I blindly assumed an automatic update wouldn’t totally hose me. When I try to open the “Install software” in OpenSuse, I get the error “error while creating client module sw_single”. I am lost and I really do not want to have to completely reinstall…Please advise…Thanks!

Try using the console version of yast, and zypper for a few days or so.
These problems generally sort themselves out. No, I’m not sure exactly why
its happening, but it’s been hitting people quite often this last week.
If you cannot start ‘yast’ from a terminal (as root), then you’ll need to
use zypper to install the ‘yast2-ncurses-pkg’ package, which will then
allow you to use the text version of yast. Works the same, arrow keys, tab
and enter work to move selection, press ALT+highlit letter to select
something.
To install the yast2 ncurses package (if cannot start yast from terminal):
zypper install yast2-ncurses-pkg
yast2 starts the GUI yast, as you are used to.
yast starts the text yast.
(as root, of course)

I have both 64bit and 32bit systems here, the 32bit suddenly started doing
what the poster spoke of… I shifted to console yast to keep working, and
this morning, the gui version worked again. I did reboot once or twice,
and I know there was an update in there too, as I forced one or two updates
myself to see if that would fix it, even forced a reinstall too, then an
update.
It’s magic… and I cannot explain it.
Haven’t had any issues with the 64bit machine (and I’ve just jinxed
myself… right?)
Honest, no idea what’s causing it, even a full binary compare of files
revealed nothing changed…
Wait! The Perseid Meteor shower peaks tonight… THAT’s IT!!! Yeah! It’s
reflected cosmic radiation caused by the proximity to the perseid
meteors… yeah!
Really {chuckle}… no idea what’s causing it.

Good work. Strange that so many have been affected. I’ve had no issues so far. I wish zypper had a little more flexibility though, like those the smart package manager CLI commands can offer.
Hi
Totally agree with the zypper comment, why they decided the rollback
feature is not needed is beyond me…sigh

Following what tecmand08 did, removing and re-installing yast2 by zypper, yast GUI is back to work.
But I ran 3 more:
linux-vy29:/home/pqq # zypper in yast2-qt-pkg
linux-vy29:/home/pqq # zypper in gnome-applets
linux-vy29:/home/pqq # zypper in yast2-control-center-gnome
this will make yast GUI looking more close to the original installation and install software looks exactly the same as the
orginal.
I guess I probably have to install all yast2-* packages which have been removed by “zypper remove yast2-libyui” to get yast recovered to the original.
Thanks everyone here for sharing your experiences. I don’t need to re-install OS! I am really appreciated! lol!
