Smart seems to have died, hangs on the media repo's.
Yast Online Update now appears to be broken as well. It is showing updates that have already been done, succesfully but doesn't seem to want to do any further updating.
Your RPM database is for some strange reason broken. Likely due to an earlier crash of RPM, a hardware or filesystem error or similar.
This confuses both ZMD and YAST.
Please run "rpm --rebuilddb" once.
Didn't fix. Still getting the error on logging in and Online Update shows a lot of updates still available but doesn't update anything, resorted the list slightly. Also, YAST was one of the packages updated last night early on while the Online Updater was still working.
It will show the installed updates marked by a "blue" checkmark. This is "OK" and likely means you are up-to-date. Ciao, Marcus
