They are.
Where have you been the last 10 years? Upgrades have always been dodgy. Upgrading 3000 packages is a very tricky thing
As for your problem, check which modules are loaded. I haven't seen a system with this problem, so I can't confirm it, but I have heard rumours about system upgrades that resulted in systems that didn't load modules properly afterwards

1. Did the 1-5 Multimedia Updates....xmms does not play MP3...inconsequential. 2. Yes, I know about backups...DLT has a problem right now, so I took a risk, and it is okay now, cyrus is back up and running, fixed DBERROR. Still have mail :) 3. I have done upgrades before without a problem, lucky? Maybe so, but then again why have an upgrade path? Clean installs are not always the most practical. But not a big deal. Well I guess, I just have never seen a upgrade go so bad before. I prolly won't be upgrading for a while, might just put Enterprise on it and leave it alone. Sad thing is I like the latest...just don't want to have to reconfigure everything for clean install. Guess I should have not said anything seeing all I got was flamed...just trying to alert people that this was not a smooth upgrade. I do have a USB DVD +/-, which I bought mainly so I can read the SuSE DVD's, the only problem is you cannot install from it. The upgrade broke something in the USB too. It has not been until the last two releases or so that there are so many missing packages on the CD's, at least that have affected my systems. I can live with installing Enlightenment after the core system is installed, but I would not expect Cyrus-Imap to be on the DVD, while Cyrus-sasl is on the CD, that just doesn't make sense. Anyway everything is better now, sorry if I offended anyone with the Novell/SuSE comment, SuSE just seemed more solid before...hey I could update from GWDG before, but since 9.2, someone decided that wasn't an option (a little manual intervention changed that though), thus my sentiments that Novell was more in charge now...I would rather be able to pick from any mirrors, not just U.S. ones. Sorry for the morning bitch session, everything is hunky dorey now.
