I got bit before I saw this.   Now I can't update anything because a
bunch of files were erased, apparantly including the one that extracts
the downloaded files from the rpm being upgraded.   Which begs the
question:   Which file or files do I have to restore from the install
DVD in order to get minimum update capability again?   One of the files
erased appears to have been the unzipper library which I think is LIBBZ2
so I'm not sure how to extract stuff from the rpms restored from the DVD.  

I see that bug 301676 is marked 'resolved' fixed.   Which version of
zypper/libzypp contains the fix?

Thanks,
Richard
