The result is attached.
or using gdb http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#How_can_I_start_YaST_in_debugger_.28gdb.29....
This is harder. I downloaded the three debug packages referenced on that page. Then I run openSUSE_machine:~ # gdb /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base and get this: GNU gdb (GDB) SUSE (6.8.91.20090930-2.4) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

At random, I did this: (gdb) run repositories qt And it spewed several pages of "Missing separate debuginfo". Finally, it did this: Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

() from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 (gdb) If you want me to install all those debug packages, I may want to try installing openSUSE into a VM, since I don't really want to perturb the system with a hundred new packages. Is it needed? --George -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
