Just wondering if you have done the following from opensuse.org BEFORE YOU INSTALL READ THIS: The package manager in SUSE 10.1 is regrettably broken on most systems. To correct this you should do the following after you have installed SUSE: Open Yast chose "online update configuration" , click next and wait until finished. Press the updater icon on you taskbar/panel If it updates, congratulations, all is well. If it throws up an error. Close it. Follow the instructions in this SDB article or this mail. at http://en.opensuse.org/Download I just installed 10.1 and yast is working.

Have tried repair from the 10.1 boot DVD, but this also crashes Yast when checking the packages. I suspect that the package database has been corrupted in some way, but rpm --rebuilddb does not help. Is there any way to fix this, other than the Windows way of reinstalling?
