I just migrated from SuSE Linux 8.1 Professional to 8.2 Professional (I'm moving toward 9.1 one version at a time). I didn't lose any data and everything seems to be functioning fine, with one notable exception. YaST Online Update no longer works! After I upgraded to 8.2, one of the first things I did was go to Online Update to pick up the latest updates to the particular packages in my installation. When I checked for updates, YaST returned a list of patches to 30 or 40 of my packages. I clicked the "Accept" button and YaST proceeded to "retrieve" all of the package updates. That part apparently worked fine, but when it went to the installation step, that step failed on every single one of the downloaded patches with the exact same error message -
Error Installing patch '.' <-- Name of particular patch Skip this patch or abort the update?
Did you click the "Details" button, to see if there was a better error message? You can also look at the y2log files in /var/log to see if it gives you a better idea of what's going wrong You can also go to /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/8.2/rpm and try to update one of the rpms manually to see if rpm will give you a better error message.
