The attached script reproduces the crash. When an SCR call gets an expression evaluating to nil, it does not use YCPVoid as it normally would if the nil value came from a variable, but uses YCPNull instead. That in turn confuses at least the ini agent and it crashes. TODO: find out why we get nil in the first place. -- 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.

That results in the nil value which then causes the crash. Why there is no config_dhcp is less clear. It looks like a problem with CWM or CWMTab which is used both in kerberos-client and ntp-client. Running ntp-client alone seems to avoid the bug. -- 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.

The fix is in yast2-core-2.17.18, I have tested that it fixes the script in comment 5. -- 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.
