Greetings!
For some time now i have problem with “Software Management” in Yast. Most of the time it just crash just after updating repo information and its suppose to show me the search window. On rare occasion it happend to work. Lately it, it just always crash. Below is the end result of running “yast2 sw_single” as root in konsole.
could you tell us your repo list
zypper lr -d
edit
you should post all terminal messages as text within the
tags you can copy text in konsole with a right click or by selecting text and using the ctrl+ins keyboard buttons for copyPlease check the output of:
The “rpm verify” tends to output a large amount of information which need to be inspected and considered for correction.
The format of the output is a string of 9 characters, a possible attribute marker:
c %config configuration file. d %doc documentation file. g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package payload). l %license license file. r %readme readme file.
from the package header, followed by the file name. Each of the 9 characters denotes the result of a compari- son of attribute(s) of the file to the value of those attribute(s) recorded in the database. A single "." (period) means the test passed, while a single "?" (question mark) indicates the test could not be performed (e.g. file permissions prevent reading). Otherwise, the (mnemonically emBoldened) character denotes failure of the corresponding --verify test:
S file Size differs M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type) 5 digest (formerly MD5 sum) differs D Device major/minor number mismatch L readLink(2) path mismatch U User ownership differs G Group ownership differs T mTime differs P caPabilities differ
You may have to execute “rpm --rebuilddb” to ensure that the RPM database is not corrupted.
[HR][/HR]Once the above checks have been completed, forcibly re-install all the YaST and Ruby packages on the system.
Some addition to what the others have already writen: also make sure that there is no corruption in the zypper cache, by running
sudo zypper clean && sudo zypper ref

Deleted all virtual box messages - list is getting too long and all files about it were tagged as (replaced)
I also did “rpm --rebuilddb”, “sudo zypper clean” and “sudo zypper ref” but “Software Managment” behavior remains the same.
You have one bad repo
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/42.1/
Don’t know if there is any ruby dependency there but all version numbers must match
Note the ruby version must match the version used in Yast.
Try
zypper in libyui-qt8 libyui-qt-graph8 libyui-qt-pkg8
Thats the official Virtualbox Repo for openSUSE Leap 42.x:
Users of openSUSE can add the proper repo file for 11.4/12.1/12.2, 12.3, 13.1 or 13.2 / 42 to /etc/zypp/repos.d/.
What I noticed is - it does crash in GUI, it does crash when run in konsole as root, but it doesnt crash when running same command in konsole “yast2 sw_single” but with sudo infront - it ends up in some dos like interface. Might be all GUI related problem?!
@OP,
When you post an error (or stdout), you need to post the <entire> log or output, you’ve only posted the end.
And, ideally you should also include the command you ran to generate the error.
That’s hardly enough to understand what happened.
If the error log or stdout is too large to post, then post at some pastebin and provide a link to it.
And yes, the virtualbox repo is correct… It’s one of those idiosyncrasies to know that VBox uses the “42.1” repo to support all current openSUSE.
TSU
sudo should not be used to run GUI applications in the past this wasn’t possible at all, something changed security vise in LEAP
if you want to run yast from a terminal as root do not use sudo but use kdesu or gnomesu depending on your desktop or xdg-su -c which is the default and works on all desktops
try
xdg-su -c yast2
and see what happens, if you have issues with xdg-su try
man xdg-su
Nothing has changed in this regard.
That’s why yast2 starts in text mode (“in some dos like interface” as the OP described it) if you run it with sudo… 
if you want to run yast from a terminal as root do not use sudo but use kdesu or gnomesu depending on your desktop or xdg-su -c which is the default and works on all desktops
try
xdg-su -c yast2
and see what happens
Or use “su -” to switch to root and then run “yast2”, that’s what xdg-su does as fallback if it doesn’t recognize the desktop environment.
version 8 of those libs are missing and can’t be found. Version 7 is found but already installed
It says there is DBUS problem. Providing picture since command was run on my one week older copy of the system on another drive.
So, as a regular user at a command prompt, you typed in “xdg-su -c yast2” without the quotes? Just to be sure, you didn’t become root (su) and then typed in the previous?
Sure he tried to run xdg-su as root, that caused the DBUS error.
To be clear:
You should either run xdg-su -c “yast2 sw_single” as user, or use “su -” to switch to root and then just run “yast2 sw_single” (or just “yast2” in either case)
And yes, Leap 42.3 has version 7 of the mentioned libraries. Version 8 only exists in Tumbleweed and Leap 15.
I remembered a post where Yast was not working, and I made a copy paste of the command without checking the version, I apologize
I did run xsg-su … without root and it crashes without a message just as before on same place.
Edit: its above on same picture I provided
Yes, that’s why I suggested to use “su -” to switch to root and then run “yast2”, you’d hopefully get a message then.
Alternatively, provide the file /var/log/YaST2/y2log, that should contain information about the crash.
So, when i do “su -” and log in as root then run “yast2 sw_single” it does actually starts and works (it doesnt crash). However if i open it in any other way, it does crash every time.
Below is link to y2log. I did delete the whole log then run Software Manager and see it crash and extract everything written to the log.

You mean it works when you login as root into a graphical session, or does it work if you run “su -” in your user’s session?
Anyway, the difference is probably the environment, i.e. things like widget style, language, …

Would it help if you’d uninstall yast2-branding-openSUSE?
sudo rpm -e --nodeps yast2-branding-openSUSE
