If it's not already been done may be idea to remove the update from the repository otherwise we're gonna end up with a lot of people with a critical problem -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Open a shell and su to root cd to the folder you put them in rpm -e boost-1.33.1-108.2 (which erases the wonderfully and thoroughly tested package that caused the mess) rpm -ivh *.* Right click on the opensuse updater and click check now and all should be back to normal -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok to solve (for anyone still desperate to get package management back)

Many thanks for your hint! Do make it maybe a bit easier, use this a root: export ARCH=$(rpm -q --qf "%{ARCH}\n" aaa_base) rpm -e boost-doc; rpm -e boost-devel; rpm -e boost; rpm -Uvh \ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/libzypp-3... \ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/boost-1.3... \ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/zypper-0.... We need to take care of ARCH to install matching architecture for Power and x86 64bit Ignore Errors on "rpm -e", your system might not have all subpackages of boost. Right click on the opensuse updater and click check now and all should be back to normal -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
