Here's a script I run when YOU'se gets all screwy:

#!/bin/bash
if test $UID -eq 0 ; then
  export VERSION=`cat /etc/SuSE-release | egrep VERSION | cut -d' ' -f3`
  cd /var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/${VERSION}/patches
  rm -f *.new *.installed
  echo YOU\'se ready to go now.
else
  echo Must be root. Not worthy...
fi

Now if YOU'se guys at SuSE would verify YOU'se patch list with the RPM
database us guys would be in biddness.

It also helps to get version numbers right, but that's a minor quibble.

Bye for now,
