Hi. I have noticed i was getting no response from my printer so i went into Yast to check if it had dis-configured itself. I keep getting this message. not sure what is going on but i get the same response for any hardware.
Error
Can’t locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /y2update/modules /root/.yast2/modules /usr/share/YaST2/modules /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/URLRecode.pm line 15.
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/URLRecode.pm line 15.

Anyone please able to recognise a problem and how to reconfigure my hardware?
thank you.

You need perl-base installed.

Thanks.
Actually, anything I click on from the YaST control center sends the same message. I am unable to access YaST.
I assume it is an update that is necessary? Is there anyway to install it otherwise?
You could launch the ncurses (text-mode) yast interface via console (as root) with ‘yast’ command, or use zypper
zypper in perl-base
Thanks deano, Tried both options.
The ncurses (text-mode) yast interface was not responsive.
This was the output from zypper in perl-base

Reinstall it, force the issue.

What would be the terminal command to force install? I tried a few option combinationss from zypper in --help. No luck!

Did I say force? No, I did not. I said force, perhaps? Mmm…

No idea what to do now. Anyone please have any advice how i can access yast and other applications again that have been shut down by this problem?
No idea what to do now. Anyone please have any advice how i can access yast and other applications again that have been rehabilitated by this problem?
Carlos was trying to advise this form of command:
zypper in --force <name-of-package>
Edit: More info.
You may find other perl or yast2 packages (eg perl-bindings, yast2-core) may need to be reinstalled here (based on what quick searches on this error have thrown up for me)

Right. I was hopping that reading a manual with hints would be enough. I
believe in study and investigation being better that being told directly
what to do is better for the soul.
O:-)
Ok, off to bed for me, or I may do/say some thing even more daft.

I get it Carlos. I am very interested in the study and i am learning heaps here.I just have to get this printer operational for work.
Thanks to deano. Those items installed. Now i have a new error message in Yast. Something about a language plugin. Only it is not in my language.:embarrassed:
Error loading language plugin /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2lang_perl.so: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error while creating client module webpin_package_search
I have no idea of the command to load this in terminal! Totally lost.
I just have to get this printer operational for work.
- You may be able to get the printer configured via your browser. CUPS has a web interface:
http://localhost:631
Administration > Add Printer > …
- Now, I don’t know how you got in this sticky situation with YaST (as I’ve never experienced this), but searching online, I found a similar error reported in this thread.
So, I’m wondering if this may have occurred because of conflicting repositories enabled with your system (unintentional and otherwise). Did you attempt any ‘1-click’ installs for example?
Anyway, please post the output of
zypper lr -d
- Did you reinstall yast2-perl-bindings?
Lets also have a look at your installed yast2 packages
rpm -qa |grep yast2
Once we’ve checked that your repo list is ok, it may be possible to run
zypper ve
to discover/rectify any package conflicts etc (if you’re lucky :))
Don’t try this last command before submitting the repo list and receiving advice on this though.

I have done plenty of mucking around with repositories recently trying to get flash updated, and had to clear many out as advised in another thread.

Ok, I see problems here with your repos. You have a mixture of 11.2 and 11.3 repos enabled. I’m surprised it is only yast that is giving you problems here! This points to a bad upgrade attempt on your part.
Repo’s 1,4,6,7,8,9 and 10 should be removed like this
zypper rr 1
Repeat for the other 11.2 repos.
Then run
zypper dup

Certainly, you have a muck up of repos for 11.2 and 11.3. I don’t know what
version you have.
Repair the list of repos, leave only those for 11.3, then do a rpm verify
all. You will probably need a zypper dup. Later.

To do that, make sure that only the main repos are enabled:
- 11.3 DVD (not in the list).
- 11.3 oss
- 11.3 non-oss
- 11.3 updates
Certainly packman must be disabled. Then run the dup, and after rebooting,
activate packman essentials and re-install multimedia stuff.
The above advice is assuming that the system is 11.3. I don’t know if you
have mostly 11.2 or 11.3 at this point…

I am actually running Suse 11.2. To have the upgrades i need the repos for suse 11.3? that is where i have become confused.
So Suse 11.3 repos are suitable for a system running 11.2 (well, until I upgrade my system anyway). And i need to delete 11.2 repos?
