Is the update of the man db running (from cron.daily) ? (you may see some "find" processes when using top)

Hi,

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this. What _exactly_ did you do?
1. Started Yast 2. Choose/Install Packages 3. Package Info 4. Typed "kde" after the colon (but anything else would do). 5. Pressed F5.
The search took 2 1/2 minutes (under 5.3).
Strange. I just repeated these steps and it worked fine... Does "top" show any unusual things? Which version of YaST do you use? I have 0.991.2
There's an update on our ftp-Server to version 0.991.3, this should solve the problem:
yast.rpm YaST Version 0.991.3 with some bugfixes Fixed scanning RPM database. YaST was confused by packages with multiline summary entries.
Bye, LenZ
