Package problems

#1

I am running 11.2 64-bit and am having trouble installing new packages, doing a manual online update, or installing the automatic upgrades/patches.
In every instance, the problem relates to an uninstalled dependency that I cannot find in any repository.

THe two that I am currently having problems with are:

libgsm1-1.0.13-3.2.x86-64.rpm
the error details are

I have no idea what I am looking at when I read these error messages.

The other package I can’t find is:
krb5-devel-1.7-6.4.1.x86_64
When I try to do an online update, I get the message: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package krb5-devel-1.7-6.4.1.x86_64 is not installed.

When I do a lookup in the package manager, I can’t find a 64-bit version. What am I missing?

Your database looks like it is corrupt :frowning:

Open a terminal, su enter your root password and run the following command ‘rpm --rebuilddb’ without the quotes. It will take awhile to run, so please be patient.

Once it has finished you should be able to run the YaST or Zypper services again. Make sure that nothing is accessing the database, so please close the update icon in the systray.

Cheers!
