YaST does not show the same packages that zypper (through konsole,
after su -) does. This was after I updated to KDE 4.2; also have KDE
3.5 installed.

# rpmdb --rebuilddb
# zypper refresh -b
# zypper up

Doing the above, after su to root from init 3, gives a totally
different set of packages (which are correct, going by the version
numbers), than what YaST (GUI : YAST --> Software Management) shows.

Search showed me the yast2 Repair Tool at
http://packages.opensuse-community.org/packageinfo.jsp?checksum=b508b5f52d3fb7f50e083e94580093e919dbc794&distro=openSUSE_111
. Any idea what this does ? how I can repair YaST GUI to accurately
show updates and packages ?

Thanks,

Jay

Seems as if it replaces YaST modules based on the file contents of the
package...
