Yast update problems ...
Hi there, I admit that perhaps it isn't 100% the list for my issue but it's related with the update, thus the security impovement procedure. By mistake I had selected to my freshly installed 9.3 Suse Pro, to download the old OpenOffice among other things. When I realised that it's going to download the whole earlier version, I stopped that download and everything which had been fetched before open office, had been updated, ok. There after I had tried to run the update process once again, to fetch the remaining security updates, without selecting the OpenOffice again. But what ever I had tried, I can't prevent yast from resuming OpenOffice's download. It simply starts again, as something (a temp file?) had broken and needs to be deleted or edited by hand ... Any help to remove the scrap of the previous downnload for having a properly updated system would be appreciated. Nicholas BTW: My localization settings are set to Greek, I don't think it's there the problem, but I suppose I 'd have to mention it.
Hi Nicolas, you can try to update that machine with fou4s ( http://fou4s.gaugusch.at ). When you have installed it with rpm -i fou4s*.rpm then you can just run: fou4s -ued to get all the update descriptions, and afterwards fou4s -i --interactive to update your computer in interactive mode (meaning it will ask you for every update if you want it or not). That should fix your problem, although I think the same should be possible with YOU, too, but I have not used it for a while. Greetings, Ralf Dos Wizard wrote:

I don't understand what your problem is exactly but rm -r /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt removes everything YOU downloaded. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
