yum broken

English Install/Boot/Login

I need a working yum installation for a lxc deployment script to work. However it seems that it is currently totally broken:

~/Downloads] λ yum --version

Don’t use Yum with openSUSE. Use Zypper.

Edit:
I don’t use yum but have you tried cleaning the yumdb in /var/lib/yum/yumdb/ ?

I would use zypper but the script relies on yum.

I apparently do not have the folder… This might explain something…
