[opensuse] yast software installer segmentation fault

The other day, I completely forgot that I was updating packages when
I exited my window manager. Now, when I try to run the software
installer, when it tries to read the package database, I get a window
with the following message:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/inst_packages.ycp:36
/sbin/yast2: line 421: 23189 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module
"$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

When I click "OK", the whole thing closes.

I found a bug report about it on Novell's bugzilla, but there was no
apparent solution (despite the report being closed) and it didn't
give me any useful information. I tried rpm --rebuilddb just in case
I'd screwed that up somehow, but that didn't make a difference.

Any ideas?
