Hi,
I’ve been trying for awhile to install the restricted formats, but when in the download & and install process, YaST2 pops up saying that such and such RPM has failed. I hit ignore, and it happens again and again to all the other packages, bar the odd few that work.
I’m on KDE 11.3.
Thanks.
And yes I’ve tried One Click install, and through amarok.

Sorry, that’s as neat as I could get it, and thanks for the reply.
About the “as neat as I could get it”: surround computer text with CODE tags. You can do this by hand of course, but easier is going to Advanced (lower right) and then choose the # button from the toolbar.
And about your respos: it seems that you have a few of those repos twice or even thrice in the list. Please clean up.
@matACC… you wrote that your problem is that during install of the
restricted codecs “ST2 pops up saying that such and such RPM has
failed.” so, after you follow hcvv’s advice to remove all the
duplicate repos…(and, get down to FOUR: leave just oss, non-oss,
update and packman)…try your codecs install again…and, if it fails
on some rpms, TELL us what they are…and, does it give a reason for
the failure??
which way are you trying to install them? as far as i know the best
way is in the sticky at the top of the multimedia forum…
as for four repos, read the info here which begins with IMPORTANT:
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/information-new-users/new-user-how-faq-read-only/424611-new-users-opensuse-pre-install-general-please-read.html#post2058902
i recommend that every time you use a one click install, after the
install is finished, go into YaST and disable any repos added by the
one click operation and get back to just those four…if you want a
stable system…

First up is Flash, and the error message for that is:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) setting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) setting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) setting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
And so on (Sorry, I maxed out my whole char limit with the full message)
Then it changes to:
error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index
error: db3 error(-30987) from dbcursor->c_get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
If that helps.
You failed to report that you have cleaned up your repos and to show what they are after the cleanup. At least I will not start looking at error messages as long as you do not have a decent repository list.
Sorry, yes I cleaned my room mum. I should have mentioned that before.
But, trying to install Java from terminal brings up the same error message!
Thanks for your time.

follow the repair RPM database directions in this excellent post:
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/420395-cannot-install-anything-anymore.html#post2029216
my guess is the db was corrupted by something preventing YaST (or
zypper, or the rpm command) from completing a process…that could be
a power failure, or a user who gets tired of waiting for the process
to finish, or thinks the process is ‘frozen’ or otherwise taking too
long, and kill it…
YaST/zypper/rpm do LOTs of stuff, some take more time than others,
some go to several different servers on the web to check things…
so, be patient…
repair your db and i guess this problem will be history…

Broken rpm database. Repair. It is possible that one of the error lines suggested how, but it should
be “rpm --rebuilddb”.
You will not be able to install anything till you do.
