So let me try again ...
I'm getting a message "Accessing the Package Management Failed" whenever I try to start online update in yast. It tells me the pid of a RUNNING packagekitd process which is holding a lock. I don't know anything about packagekitd.
What do I need to do to recover?
kill -9 `pidof packagekitd`
And what might have caused the problem?
the yast auto update is checking for updates :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
