Hi, I also have the signature failure message when I try to use YOU to first update YaST. I have checked the following directories:- /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/patches /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586 where there are 4 yast2 rpm packages that appear to be recent (from my latest attempt to use YOU with the same signature failure message) yast2-core-2.6.47-9.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-devel-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packager-2.6.63-3.i586.patch.rpm How can I correctly (safely) install these ? i.e. How can this be done with YaST2 ? or must I use rpm -Uhv filename.rpm --???????? (is this the correct command for a patch ?) Are they really the downloaded updates ? If these RPMs can be correctly installed then I hope YaST will work. In 8.0 there was an option to ignore the signature error message. I used it, YaST2 was updated and thereafter YaST2 worked fine without a signature propblem. regards, John

Are you YOU in a GUI logged in as root? If so: Do not use a GUI as root - X is a security nightmare! Log in a standard user, and run YOU by entering the root password when prompted, or (MUCH BETTER) get a console (press alt-F1) and login as root there, then run yast in text 'mode' Dylan

...

I have checked the following directories:-

/var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/patches

/var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586 where there are 4 yast2 rpm packages that appear to be recent (from my latest attempt to use YOU with the same signature failure message)

yast2-core-2.6.47-9.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-devel-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packager-2.6.63-3.i586.patch.rpm

How can I correctly (safely) install these ? i.e. How can this be done with YaST2 ? or must I use rpm -Uhv filename.rpm --???????? (is this the correct command for a patch ?)

Just tried what you suggested. Same result each time "signature check failed". Is there a way to get YaST to work with those rpm files that have been downloaded? -- John Dylan wrote:

You could try deleting the contents of /var/lib/yast/. Dylan

Just tried that........same result. The rpm files were downloaded again. Does anybody know how to install these manually ? -- John Dylan wrote:

Well that was interesting. First, logged in as root, with Konq. I right clicked and selected Preview in KRPMview. Then I selected Install package with YaST (the only active option) and it prompted for CD-1. Then it installed the version on CD-1 !!!! The "use directory as source with YaST" option was not active. "Open with KPackage" was another option when one right clicks on the rpm file. However I have had trouble with Kpackage and have read that it is not recommended. So what do you think about trying KPackage (followed by SuSEconfig ? In any case I did not see an option "install w / yast" except as noted above. It seems that KRPMview is also not right. -- John jfweber@eternal.net wrote:

For the record...... Finally its fixed .......sort of. The solution for now is to use fou4s. That worked. Updates for YaST were downloaded and installed. I did the YaST DelDB and ProdDB fix document by SuSE. But this new 8.1 YaST still won't work. Well I will use fou4s until 8.2 - John John Sved wrote:
