Listmates,
I am pulling my hair out. Opensuse updater applet is broken. I continually gives the error that *NO* backends are installed and that I need to install one and restart the updater -- what?? (I know that's crap because Yast2 -> online update works just fine). So I have uninstalled and reinstalled:
17:06 dcrgx:~> rpm -qa | grep updater kde4-opensuse-updater-0.7.17-6.2
17:06 dcrgx:~> rpm -qa | grep zypp libzypp-devel-4.28.1-0.1 ruby-zypp-0.4.6-5.1 libzypp-testsuite-tools-4.2.3-6.1 zypper-0.11.11-0.1 ruby-zypptools-0.2.0-1.1 libzypp-4.28.1-0.1
No matter what I do, I get:

weird, with zypper around, it should be able to use the zypp backend. On 11.1 you need one of: kde4-kupdateapplet-packagekit kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp I'm not sure about 11.0, CCing Thomas.
This is a brand NEW 11.0 (kde 3.5) install. The only thing that looks out of place is "kde4-opensuse-updater". Is there a link that isn't being made by the kde4 package that is preventing the updater app from finding its backend? Is there some sysconfig setting that isn't set?
I'd try to install also updates, in case this is a bug for which an update was released.
When I rt-click and choose configure applet, there is *NO* choice for any backend shown in the drop-down select dialog.
