--- Comment #6 from Camaleon --
So yast2-qt was shipped along 11.1 Gnome CD, but is no longer being shipped for 11.2's. That sure is surprising and it is reasonable to query about it.
Yes, so it is.
I'm the yast2-gtk maintainer and I was completely oblivious to this swing. I assumed yast2-gtk had replaced yast2-qt in the LiveCD when it was promoted to default. It certainly doesn't seem to make sense to ship two competitive UIs in such a constrained medium, especially when there is already ncurses as backup. So I took your bug report as a request to re-insert the Qt UI when it had been absent for a couple of major release cycles. It is certainly a sensible bug report in the light of the abrupt change.
YaST Gtk (software management) is not an easy tool to use, at least for me. I've been using kde 3.5 for some years and just recently switched to Gnome. YaST package manager is the only app I cannot get used with, it's a bit hard to understand its guidelines. That said, I don't think (at least yet) both interfaces provide the same features and manageability at the same level. OTOH, if both interfaces are planned to be installed by default under a Gnome installation pattern (and I think so it is), it make sense -at least to me- providing both in the LiveCD so it gets also tested.
Anyway, to answer your question, it seems yast2-qt got finally removed out of the Live CD due to space constrains, in order to make room for more urgent software, as of the following opensuse-gnome mailing list discussion: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2009-08/msg00004.html
It seems the change was filled as bug 529046, of which I'm making this a dup of. It already has all the parties involved if you'd like to put forth your reservations.
Oh, how nice :-( BTW, how many space take these "-qt" packages?
Meanwhile, for purposes of testing your yast2-qt translations, please run the zypper command I provided. If you don't have network access or your modem isn't of easy setup, you can download the yast2-qt RPM from the following repository into a pen-disk (or to a local partition, which should be mounted automatically) and then install it through "rpm -Uvh". Don't forget to download the other yast2-qt-* RPMs if you'd like to be able to run the software manager.
It seem there are missing dependencies: linux:/home/linux/Desktop # rpm -Uvh *.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libQtCore.so.4 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libQtGui.so.4 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libX11.so.6 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libfontconfig.so.1 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libstdc++.so.6 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.11) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9) is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libyui.so.3 is needed by yast2-qt-2.18.7-1.4.i586 libQtCore.so.4 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libQtGui.so.4 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libgcc_s.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.10) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.11) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9) is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libyui.so.3 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 libzypp.so.611 is needed by yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.11-1.3.i586 Not an easy bypass, I guess.
