I have made a new installation today of Thumbleweed with KDE.
When I try to install Chromium the YAST Software Manager shuts down.
Some other programs installed OK.
Any idea?
There seems to be a bug somewhere.
Running Yast from the root command line (the command is “yast2”), I see:
/usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.7.0/yast/yast.rb:204: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x000000000000c060
ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
That was followed by some trace information.
I should add that first ran “script” and then ran “yast2” in that script session. That way the voluminous output is saved in the file “typescript”.
The segfault occurred as soon as I clicked “chromium” to select it for install.
You should be able to install “chromium” with
zypper install chromium
This looks like a general Yast bug. I restarted Yast software management, and tried to install “opera”. And I got the same crash. Perhaps it happens installing anything.
This needs a bug report.
I suggest you use “script” to get a transcript, as I described above. Report a bug, and attach the “typescript” file.
I could also report, but I prefer you to report since you found the problem. If I see your report, I’ll add a comment and CONFIRM the bug. If I don’t see a report by this evening (Chicago time), then I may report it myself.
You can use this link to report bugs:

Thanks. I’ll check whether I have an rpm for an older version in my package cache.
Interestingly, I just booted a VM into Tumbleweed, and I found a new update for Yast (in the update repo, not the normal oss repo). So I installed that, but it did not fix the problem.
