Helo all,

Only if you want to fbreak YAST2. At least I now believe that was what happened to me. It was only after I re-installed and then did it a second time that I made the connection
Could you share your experience what make your second attempt successed while the first one failed? Did you also upgrade yast2 (from 7.2) to yast2 from 7.3?
I guess I misled you, heres what happened. (I've got suse7.2 w/ kde2.2.2)
I was actually messing around trying to get my printing to work. I'd been installing various ghostscripts. I noticed that SuSE had some online updates so I used YAST2 to do them.
While checking for ghostscript I noticed the glibc files in the suse7.3 section and thought "I'll try that" (I don't usually try to update from outside my version, I was just trying to get working printing.)
At some later date I wanted to use yast2 to edit my rc.config, As soon as it started it told me that it couldn't find all the modules it was looking for (and "helpfully" didn't tell me where it was looking.) Then its window would open but no modules would load.
I tried many diferent things including re-installing YaST2 from the dvd, and trying to install the 7.3 versions of YaST2 from SuSE (and getting REALLY FRUSTRATED) I finally did a full re-install.
(By the way when I posted this problem to the list it scared people so much that they turned their attention to some stupid flame war just to avoid thinking about it ;-p
After my re-install I foolishly installed the SuSE7.3 glibc rpms again but fortunately ran YaST2 soon enough afterwards to be pretty confident that it (SuSE7.3 glibc) was the cause of my problem.
My second attempt was not a success except in that I was able to diagnose the conflict between the glibc from the 7.3 updates with YaST2 from version7.2
hope this clears things up. dh
ps. the susehelp.rpm from the 7.3 update site actually does seem to fix problems w/ the 7.2 update that yast installs.
