[Bug 421640] New: Lack of reinstall function hampers program repair.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421640 Summary: Lack of reinstall function hampers program repair. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: l_v_brienen@casema.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- The software management system used by Yast doesn't allow packages to be re-installed. If during a crash a program becomes corrupted but not recognized as such then Yast doesn't give any method to repair said program. The only two options currently available for repair in these cases are. A. Completely install openSUSE again. (too drastic in some cases) B. Wait for an updated version of the program to be available. (can take months with some programs) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
