my Yast2 (module "install and remove software) (in KDE) suddenly does not working. It keeps popping-up a dialog box with a message "abandon all changes?" and two buttons: ok and cancel. Pressing Ok and cancel will only bring another similar window. I had to kill yast2 with the skull pointer (ctrl-alt-escape).
I don't know whether it's because I ran "rpm --rebuildb" recently, or maybe because of upgrading to kde 3.1.2, or something else?
It's a bug in qt3. You will need to go backwards to QT3-3.1.1.72 to fix it. The latest qt3 which comes with KDE 3.1.2 still has the same problem. Just follow these directions and you will be back in business: So far the only answer I havve seen is to replace your qt3 rpm with qt3-3.1.1.71. The steps I took were to ftp the file to my download directory and then from the command line remove the current qt3 with the command 'rpm -e ---nodeps qt3-3.1.2-26' (without the quotes of course) then install the old one with 'rpm -Uvh qt3-3.1.1-71.i586.rpm' You'll see some junk on the screen about not being able to remove some directories after removing the newer file but just ignore it and go on. I have no idea what if anything is broken by going back but at least you will have yast working again. You might want to go into Yast2 after the downgrade and mark qt3 to not upgrade so you wont have to go through this exercise for a while. There is a whole thread discussing this from a week or two ago. Must not be anything the big boys have a problem with cause not many have voiced the problem. Regards, Richard
