Downloaded the Build 0258 DVD and installed the 12.2 on one of the partitions. Installation was without problems. Update after installation was done without problem. Problem started after I wanted to install KMail. Both Zypper and Yast refused to do their work, complaining about a running packagekit. The offered choice to stop the package kit did not work. Was able to start the software management wit a konsole with package-manager.
Known problem?
You see this on current versions of openSUSE as well.. ie it's not just something that shows up on 12.2M2. Particularly right after a boot, or right after a clean install, PackageKit will be running to query for updates. I wouldn't call it a bug... only one process can have a lock on the RPM database at a time... unless it holds on to the database lock for a long time - my experience playing with the 12.2 releases is that it releases teh lock just as it has in previous releases, but I haven't beat it up too much either. It will (or at least it should) eventually finish it's tasks and release the RPM database lock. The offered choice to stop PackageKit will work, but it's not immediate... it takes a while to exit cleanly.
