Does this work for anyone? I find that online_update lists a whole bunch of things to update but when I click "Accept" the window just disappears. If I run it from the shell prompt I get this: # yast2 online_update #

The update contains libzypp 1.1.0-1.11.
Should I have some specific install source enabled?
No, just one of the mirrors. If you want to be safe, please wait some days.
SUSE must be very specific here. As the update stuff has not been working, it is not like I have had a chance to explore and see what it does and sort out all the nifty new locations. That will only be possible after the basic update stuff works. So, the upgrade instructions must tell where the updates are to be gotten from. Andreas told this. He also said to remove his update source, which I did and which is still the case. The latest info (email today in this list) did not suggest any specific update source was needed.
Again, please wait some days for the mirrors to catch up first.
Ciao, Marcus
Marcus, I can sense that tempers are starting to fray over this massive cock-up by a brain giant to a major Linux distro and from which it will take quite some time to recover.
It is time to look at this situation more rationally and find a scheme to get it fixed as best "we" can.
I can see that there are 2 types of SuSE 10.1 users who are affected by this: 1) those who are about to install 10.1 and 2) those who already have it installed.
For those who are about to install it, when they do install it is there a mechanism set up which will upgrade the zmd application when the installation process calls home for any updates?
For those of us who already have 10.1 installed and cannot get the bloody zmd working, I ask these 2 questions:
a) would it help if I reinstall 10.1 - and if I do will the zmd be auto-updated on the first call "home"? or if I do re-install would I be better off either downloading libzypp 1.1.0-1.11 manually and installing it or doing the "test a)" which Andreas adkes? and
b) I, for one, would be most happy to download a new copy of the ISO CD disc containing the new libzypp PLUS ANY ASSOCIATED fixed files and then burning a new DVD using this new ISO (with the new, fixed files) and re-install 10.1. Can such a new ISO disc be created and put up for download?
Can we please take the discussion from here and try and fix this serious problem ASAP.
And PLEASE, everybody, could you please stay ON TOPIC and make sure that your responses are not cryptic but contain enough information to solve this problem.
And for Chrissake do not muddy the waters and do NOT mention SMART or APT, or whatever. Just stick with the default updater which comes with 10.1 even though it is a total disaster.
Cheers.
For me the best set up was to do the online update on the very first or second post setup boot. I would set up the directory at opensuse as an Installation Source. It was extact as entered ftp.suse.com pub/people/aj./10.1-packagemanagement-update-test However since it has been moved I am not sure where you can get all the files in one place. If someone is really desperate, I would be willing to attach all 31 files to an email(s) and send them to you as long as you tell me which version you need i386, i586 or x86_64. A much better option is when you do the first install or afterwards do a search for the files "smart" and pick up "smart" and "smart gui" via the YAST Software Management tool or through the option choices for your first install. It has a list of sites included in itself and should pick them up and other update files without much interverntion on your part. 1) Have Smart update all channels before beginning 2) Have Smart take all upgraded files. Because SUSE Yast is damaged, it may or may not pick up the update once you setup your initial mirror site. I had trouble adding in an initial mirror site automatically and had to specify the installation source. If all else fails, you can get all the needed files on opensuse and do rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps filename.rpm to each of the 31 files till everything is in. Take all the yast2* zen* zmd* libzy* zypp* files that you can find. I can put a full list here if anyone needs that sort of detail. Not everyone need every last file but it covers all bases.
