The error clearly states that this bug is against the 'yast2-repair module broken' according to the Summary. The API that calls it in the GM release is also broken on the DVD. What they fixed was the call to the API and they did NOT release anything that addressed the fact that until you have a successful install, their 'fix' isn't available because you have no way to invoke it unless you use another distro or if you are lucky, an earlier version of SuSE that hopefully still works. THEN, this fix would call the yast2-repair module, WHICH IS STILL BROKEN so much of what you would use a repair program for simply won't work properly even with this patch that you can't use off the broken DVD. Some parts of the repair module do work, but major portions are STILL broken and as of this moment, unresolved. So, they closed (resolved-fixed) this bug because they came up with a patch you can download once you sucessfully install 10.3 and don't really need the DVD repair program anyhow. Using other words, SEMANTICS not solutions to the underlying problems. Read back to comments 2 or 3 or so and you will see the suggested fix was vetoed by 'the boss' in favor of waiting until version 11.0. It costs little or nothing to delete a bad ISO image on the servers and replace it with a fixed version that can be burned by paying and non-paying user/customers alike, but for a reason I can't fathom, that rational course of action was rejected. Now, the world knows that 10.3 GM is broken as distributed and worse, the attitude is 'live with it'. Don't get me wrong, I love SuSE, What I don't love is continuing to make bad decisions and sacrifice quality for expediency. Version 10.3 is arguably the best version yet in many ways, but the big purple wart on the end of its' nose is VERY evident.
