Ok, so two upgraded machines, both show the same problem. When I start the YaST2 install/remove software tool, I am presented with a dialog with a few conflicts and dependency issues. It seems that no matter how I try to exit this dialog - ignore, cancel, etc. I end up in a loop. I get a new dialog box that says "Abandon all changes?" and my choices are "Ok" and "Cancel". Clicking on either of the choices brings the same "Abandon all changes?" dialog right back. Trying to close the Abandon dialog with the "X" keeps the dialog and brings up an identical one (only with a "2" in the title bar). Continuing to try and close with the "X" brings more and more of these dialogs up. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks! -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
