There is not really a lot of history here. In the early days of 10.1 I tried and gave up on the "zen-updater" and YOU, but manually running the Yast "software management" has been working well for months and I have not had any problems getting the updates I wanted.
The problem arose just a couple of days ago. I am not aware of doing anything specific or different before this happened. It started when I tried to add one package from the 10.1 DVD (no dependency issues) and Yast just simply froze for about 60-90 minutes and finally crashed. I did reboot to init 3 as root and tried to run Yast, but it crashed with:
sbin/yast2: line233: 3343 Segmentation fault $ybindir/yastbase menu ncurses $NCTHREADS
Is it possible that you have a half complete update in there? That some yast packages have been updated while others haven't?
This could cause a crash
Hi Anders, Yes that was my thought too. Do you think if I removed all the Yast rpms and reinstalled the originals from the DVD, it would resolve the issue without breaking my whole system? I am loathed to completely dump my system and reinstall, because it has taken me a long time to get 10.1 working the way I want it. Regards Dave
