Automatic updates fail because:
PackageKit Error cannot-remove-system-package: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package libpackagekit-glib12-0.5.1-3.7.i586 is not installed
Manually updating from yaST gives the same error. However, I cannot find the above packge available for installation. i found the following link in the “Yast2-ncurses broken?” thread, but it doesnt automatically install, and I am unsure whether it will work with ver 11.2:
Any ideas?
libpackagekit-glib12 is on the OSS repo. It seems like it would be installed by default, assuming you are using the Gnome desktop. What is the output of:
zypper se -i libpackagekit-glib12
and
zypper lr -d
Hello - thank you for the response!

Try installing it through zypper.
zypper install libpackagekit-glib12
Hmmmm…

Sorry, I misread the query. I’m not sure why the updater isn’t detecting it. Do this:
rpm --rebuilddb
Hi - tried it twice with apparently a null result:
linux-cw69:~ # rpm --rebuilddb
linux-cw69:~ # rpm --rebuilddb
linux-cw69:~ #
Hmmmm…
No output is expected, rpm will rebuild your rpm database. Try the update now.
Thanks Chief – all nice & updated. Do you happen to know anything about Broadcom wireless cards in Dell laptops and why mine wont work? I have to use a Belkin USB dongle to access WWW.

Hope this helps.
I ran the following (found it in a relevant forum):
udo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
…and rebooted, but the card still wont go
Please click here
http://packman.links2linux.de/install/broadcom-wl
It installs the broadcom-wl
You may need to blacklist the b43 now
But Install the above
reboot
and see
I have to go out for a bit
Ran the install, only partially successful:
Software installation
Installation was only partially successful.
The following packages could not be installed
broadcom-wl-kmp-trace
broadcom-wl-kmp-vmi
Will reboot and see
Those packages are most unlikely required.
All it should install - Normally - Is
broadcom-wl
broadcom-wl-kmp-(desktop or default)
depending which kernel you are using
uname -a
will tell us
See following:
linux-cw69:~ # uname -a
Linux linux-cw69 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
linux-cw69:~ #
Hope this helps
So you should have
broadcom-wl
broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
Post result of
rpm --query --all '*broadcom*'

You only need the one I highlighted red plus one not in the list
broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
I’m going to hazard a guess that you have a kernel mess there.
