Problem Updating

ndavis4 · June 15, 2010, 2:59am

I’m running 11.2 KDE 4.3.5, recently every time I’ve tried to use the Updater Applet I get this error after choosing to install an update:

PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user

Then I run YaST to try to manually install the update and get the following error:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.i586 is not installed

Really unsure how to fix this but it’s only blocking updates/patches, I can download new programs fine.

Pleas post the output of the following run from a terminal:


su -
zypper up

I typed

su-
zypper up

and got:

zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(thanks for responding quickly and nice icon)

It seems you have a very corrupted install. If it were me, I’d backup my home directory reinstall the system. If zypper can’t even function, a reinstall will problably take less time than trying to fix it.

I remember some similar update issues occurring for other users recently. Check out this thread, in particular the link provided by gogalthorp should help you resolve this.
