YaST2 Stopped Being Able to Install Packages

LostChild1 · January 11, 2010, 8:39am

Whenever I try to install… anything using YaST I get this error. I’m using KDE 4.4.

This particular one is from trying to install VLC from the VLC Repo. But I’ve gotten it when trying to install things from OpenSUSE OSS / Non-OSS repos, etc.

Clarify please:
Is this in the running software manager or actually when you try starting it?

What do you have for

zypper lr -d

And are you able to install with zypper Eg;
zypper in <application_name>

LostChild1 · January 11, 2010, 9:16am

I can get into the Software manager and browse repos A-Ok, it’s when I try to apply changes and it tries to download / install the packages that the error occurs. Terminal outputs:

Unrelated I think to your problem, but I must correct you here. All your repo priorities are wrong. In 11.2 you can set them all to 99, some including me set Packman to 90 which gives it priority over all the others. But all 99 would be OK. VideoLan should be removed if you have installed libdvdcss because that is all you need from that repo.
See this
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums

Finally you should do this
http://tinyurl.com/yejwull

Back to issue:

Remove all repos and add them back in, except VLC!

try using mirrors for some of them - where you can do so.
openSUSE Download Mirrors - 11.2

FYI: What you list as KDE Unstable are actually not unstable but provide kde4.4 RC1

See if this helps

LostChild1 · January 11, 2010, 5:08pm

So, I did as you said and began by completely removing all my repos. I then added three back (ATI, VLC and Packman) in order to grab libdvdcss, and switch my system packages to packman (I haven’t yet put packman to priority 90). I click apply and again:

You need to add
oss
non-oss
update

then in a su terminal

cd /var/lib/rpm

rm -f __db*

rpm -qa -vv

should fix (and verify) the problem

Try yast again

LostChild1 · January 11, 2010, 10:25pm

I added the OSS, Non-OSS and Update repositories, refreshed, and then closed YaST. Then here’s the output of the commands you gave me: Bash pastebin - collaborative debugging tool and then I finally went back into YaST, and tried to switch to Packman yet again, and am still presented with the same error:

caf4926, isn’t this an rpm database problem? Doesn’t

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
rpm --rebuilddb

fix this?

Just to verify, __db*, means two underscores before the db*.

This seems to have done the trick. Thanks so much!
