Seems that your perl installation is borken.

yast2-perl-bindings-2.18.0-3.1 seems to be built against perl 5.10.1, but you still have 5.10.0 installed. I guess that a brave "zypper dup" will fix it up for you.

no, I am already on the *edge* :^). I do 'zypper dup' regularly, and occasionally something like this occurs but not life threatening. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

perl-5.10.0-72.5.x86_64 is what is in Factory ???

submitted bug report #555484

Please do not report such bugs,

*Ce*?! (Translated into English: *What*?!)

but help fixing stuff on http://www.suse.de/~coolo/factory-status.html

Is this another side-branch of openSUSE and "opensuse factory" or another version of openSUSE running parallel to Novell's official version?

Factory is not supposed to contain always perfectly satisfied dependencies.

We all know this, but "do not report such bugs" when they concern factory?! Is "http://www.suse.de/~coolo/factory-status.html" a private domain of yours and is not connected to openSUSE in any way, or what? Sorry, Stephan, but you really don't make it easy for people to understand what you are talking about.
