I have a customer who wants to install a SUSE 9.2 package on their 9.2 system. Oddly, when they search for the package by name in in yast, it does not show up. The package is tktable-2.8-164.i586.rpm, which is on CD4. Is there any way to get YAST to reread the package information from the original install media if there is a problem like this?
Are they entering the whole string "tktable-2.8-164.i586.rpm"? Just search for "tktable". If that doesn't work and you know the name of a file in the package, enable searching of the packages' contents by selecting the "Provides" check-box.
On my SUSE 9.2 system (should be same as theirs) I search for 'tktable'. 'Name' and 'Summary' are checked as things to Search in. The package is found. They do the same thing (sent me a screen dump to prove it) and it is not found. So I think the list YAST has is incorrect.
