Re: [opensuse] SUSE 9.2 x86_64 and DST
SUSE 9.2 is no longer supported by YAST (at least I am not getting any updates from it). I am running SUSE 9.2, kernel 2.6.8-24.25-smp running on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with a 2.8GHz Xeon processor. The particular version of glibc that is installed is 2.3.3-118. I wish I could find the page again that mentioned the zdump error with 64-bit systems.

I have been able to successfully patch all of my servers running the various flavors of SUSE (9.0 through 10.1) that I have inherited, with the exception of 3 that are running 9.2 on an x86_64 platform.
For many I had to use the manual method found here:
wich worked well.
However, on another site I found that there is a bug(?) with the x86_64 release where the zdump/zic commands don't work. And in fact, running zdump on one of these systems produces a segmentation fault.
Does anyone know of a work around for this particular platform to get the DST updates installed?
Thanks
ps. just as I was about to hit send I see Marcus's response to James's post, sorry for the redundancy but I think mine is different enough to warrant its own post.
You should be using YAST Online Update and it should just work ;) Which specific SUSE Linux distribution has zdump crash? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
