In the course of playing around with Evolution, adding and removing things, etc. yast2 has become partially broken. If I attempt to do anything related to adding or removing packages, it just freezes up. I can do anything with services, hardware, etc. with no problems.

Let me relay the rest of the story: This all started when I did a (command line) 'rpm -Fvh' on a new download of evolution (v 1.4.5) That hung for 2 hours. I couldn't even kill it. Had to reboot. That started this whole chain of events. Something evidently got damaged...

Dan, Had the same problem once with a faulty rpm. Solved it then by using the ncurses yast (use ctrl-alt-f2 to go to a text terminal, login as root and launch yast). This one worked and i could remove the faulty package. Also hung on dependency chacking then. Otherwise get a better evolution rpm and install it manually with rpm -Uhv <package> --force. It should remove the other from the rpm database. Peter Vollebregt
