Here is asolution if your YaST gets hosed. It was posted on alt.os.linux.suse. It work great on my 10.3 system. Had to alsodelete boost-doc and boost-devel on my system. But YaSt is back:
Thanks, mine was not hosed. I did not allow the update to progress as soon as I noticed the conflict. I don't press "enter" at random, nor do I enable automatic updates ;-)
This should work (posted by a suse chap on another list) - for those that were trapped:
ARCH=`rpm -q --queryformat %{arch} aaa_base` rpm -e boost-doc rpm -e boost-devel rpm -e boost rpm -Uhv http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/libzypp- 3.26.2-2.$ARCH.rpm http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/zypper-0 .8.23-7.$ARCH.rpm http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/$ARCH/boost-1. 33.1-10
This problem proves that automatic updates are a no-no, and that YOU should notice that it is going to remove critical packages, by checking a list, and give a big red warning with bells. I agree about automatic updates, I never do them. My hand got ahead of my brain this time and its the first updates I've done since installing 10.3. At least it was just my older test machine.
