Hi!
My trusty, old Windows NT box finally died last week. After reading a bunch about "Linux for the masses", and not wanting to spend $thousands on Microsoft software again, I decided to install Opensuse's 11.0 operating system.
I bought a new PC with an AMD cpu, downloaded the whole Opensuse dvd using Bittorrent, and after a few confusing attempts with the installer, got everything up and running.
Following the online documentation, I've set up Software Updates to keep up to date. When I tried to use the Yast application, I was getting some errors. So I used the Terminal to use the Zypper command line application.
This is what I get as soon as I try to upgrade:
zypper up Reading installed packages... 2 Problems: Problem: patch:libxcrypt-109.noarch conflicts with libxcrypt-32bit.x86_64 < 3.0-14.2 provided by libxcrypt-32bit-3.0-14.1.x86_64 Problem: patch:ConsoleKit-132.noarch conflicts with ConsoleKit-32bit.x86_64 < 0.2.10-14.2 provided by ConsoleKit-32bit-0.2.10-14.1.x86_64

Can you copy&paste here the URL of the update repository you have got? It can be seen in YaST Software repositories. If you have something different that this, erase it and add this one: http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0 Those noarch packages are strange, they don't even exist in the regular update repository. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
