Can you try updating _all_ packages found there?
Above problem is a mismatch between the packages "libzypp" and "yast2-packagemanager", both need to be at the same level.
Ciao, Marcus
Thank you for the quick response. I am using the following site for updates mirrors.kernel.org/suse/x86_64/update/10.1/rpm There are the following directories i586 i686 noarch ppc ppc64 src x86_64 Previously all updates had been done through YAST. I do have all the latest version of libzypp and yast2-packager as listed in the x86_64 directory. I notice that there are some rpm packages in the noarch directory related to yast that are later than what I have. Should I make sure that all the noarch packages are also the latest? Also would it pay to "force" the installation of libzypp and yast2-packager? Both rpm -Uvh and rpm -ivh give the indication that the packages are already installed. I could do an rpm -e and remove them and reinstall. In any event the libzypp and yast2-packager rpms are the latest. Mike -- Michael A.
