Hi Anders,

Yes that was my thought too. Do you think if I removed all the Yast rpms
and reinstalled the originals from the DVD, it would resolve the issue
without breaking my whole system?

I am loathed to completely dump my system and reinstall, because it has
taken me a long time to get 10.1 working the way I want it.

Regards
Dave
