Hi, Yast2 crashes when I try to install a package and enter "cancel" instead of "accept" and go back into Yast2 to try to find some other package to install. This happens on OpenSUSE 10.3 and it looks like it is a repeatable event. This should be fixed for OpenSUSE 11.0 release, if it is not know already. A bug report tool window pops up, but it is not fully functional yet. To repeat this crash in Yast2: open Yast2, Software Management, install or remove a package that will make Yast2 prompt you for resolver input, tell Yast2 to "apply", and when Yast2 asks you for input then "cancel" and go back to select some additional packages and Yast2 will crash.

A typical request from Yast2 will be to either not install the package, ignore the dependency, generally ignore the dependency, or install it anyway. There might be a more technical name for this resolver input request by Yast2.

Try deleting /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db. Then as root run "zypper refresh" to rebuild the cache and try again. You could have a corrupt cache file. I have canceled a number of selections and haven't experienced what you describe. I have had software management crash several times and the culprit was a corrupt zypp.db cache file. -- David C.
