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.
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.
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.
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.
