Hi -
	I have a problem with susewatcher: It stays red even after an update.
Here is what I tried so far to turn it green:

- I checked "Include installed patches" in YOU, no updates to be seen
(and it doesn't install any if I go on)

- Called up the messages window from susewatcher

- Tried to stop susewatcher by right clicking it in the applet tray and
choose "Quit", but it refused to quit. Then I killed the susewatcher
process: Success. Started susewatcher again from the shell and got the
message:

ERROR: Communication problem with susewatcher, it probably crashed

The (red!) icon turned up in the tray anyway and seems to work (i.e. I
can start YOU, look at the messages etc.)

- Then I got desperate and simply checked "Download all patches" in YOU,
which didn't help either (and why should it?)

My guess is that something needed is not running (thus the error
message), but if so, what? I don't believe that it comes from killing it
and then starting it again, because it is also red when I boot the
machine. At my workplace PC everything just works fine (same
configuration, but installed from scratch)

So, does anybody have a hint for me? Otherwise I fear I will turn red
(and stay red).

Thanx
