zypper libzypp problem?

I’ve been trying to install 13.2 64bit off the downloaded DVD. After i have the install complete and the network configured, i do a zypper patch to get updates. This all seems to work properly. I then attempt to add Google Chrome repo for 64bit to 13.2 repository and then drop to terminal and do zypper install google-chrome-stable. This worked fine on my laptop but for some reason it seems to break on my desktop. This is the result:

terrigan@linux-b14e:~> sudo zypper install google-chrome-stable
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  google-chrome-stable lsb 

2 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 57.9 MiB. Already cached: 0 B  After the operation, additional 172.9 MiB will be used.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::substr

This seems to occur for anything that i attempt to install afterward. Tried to install nano and got the same

std::out_of_range

. This seems to be a problem that got fixed in a newer version of libzypp, just don’t know how to get it.

Which version of libzypp do you have?

rpm -q libzypp[/QUOTE]

There was a similar problem in 13.2 Beta or RC1, but that should be fixed in the final release.
It was actually a problem with some translations, so try to run zypper this way:

sudo LANG=C zypper up


But if it worked at first, that's probably not your issue. And the output you posted is in english anyway.

I would try to remove the libzypp cache:

sudo rm -r /var/cache/zypp


Maybe that helps?

Yep, removing the cache did the trick! Thanks a bunch.

Ok, I just wanted to be sure that you indeed have the version included in the final release. That is it, yes.

Great! :slight_smile:
