yast in 10.3 x86_64

I’ve got strangely corrupted yast, making it absolutely useless in software management section.
Almost any task (update configuration, yast -i, online update) ends up with this:

I have manually upgraded yast, zypper, glibc to the latest, rebuilt zypper cache and rpm db.
Still, it changed nothing, i constantly get this error.

Any ideas?

wbr,
/sigiz

#2

Try this as su

LC_ALL=C zypper ve

it should verify your system

what does this give:
zypper lu
also try:

zypper in -f yast2-core yast2-perl-bindings libzypp zypper

#3

Looks like there’s no verify in 10.3’s zypper.

LC_ALL=C zypper ve

Unknown command ‘ve’
Try -h for help.

Also, lu fails too, with a familiar error:

LC_ALL=C zypper lu

which led me to upgrade libcurl.

Looks like it was a libcurl bug.
After updating it yast and zypper recovered too.

Thanks.

Yes. Sorry about that, I forgot it 10.3 as I was typing zypper commands.

Usually a -f (force) update will do the trick.

Well done.
