https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211392 Summary: Better error message instead of "the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work" Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com If parts of yast2 or its dependencies are not correctly installed, yast2 currently reports: warning: the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface This is misleading because - The message "does not work" is not detailed enough - "You need to install yast2-ncurses" is not always correct because yast2-ncurses might be installed just fine Suggestions: - The script uses ldconfig to determine if the frontend is correctly installed, show the ldconfig errors in addition to the "does not work" text - Change the message "You need to install yast2-ncurses" to something like "You need to install yast2-ncurses and its dependencies" or "You need to verify yast2-ncurses" or give a hint about "rpm -V yast2-ncurses" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
