Hi all. For some reason, after the last round of auto updates (or software installation, I'm not sure which), zypper has been deleted from my system. I certainly did not do this myself!
The last entry in zypper.log was on 10.06.08 at 21:57 local time (which probably doesn't help anyone). Some time after this, zypper has been erased. Running 'which zypper' (as root) reveals no zypper found anywhere in the path.
This means that I can't run online updates or any of the Yast package management plugins. RPM still seems to be installed - at least that's something.
Can someone point me to the zypper rpm so I can reinstall it please? I may have to resolve some dependencies manually if anything else has been deleted that shouldn't have been...
Thanks,
This also occurs if the packman repo is enabled. It updates a zypper dependency and wipes out zypper if you answer the solution question the wrong way...
It is possible that this may be what has happened - I do use Packman for multimedia stuff and I may simply not have been concentrating...
OK - back to the DVD (or online repository), reinstall zypper via rpm and hopefully we'll be good to go again...
Thanks David and Carlos.
You were right - boost had been updated from 1.33 to 1.36 and zypper requires 1.33. After uninstalling boost 1.36 I was then able to reinstall boost 1.33, libzypp and zypper. All seems to be happy again :-). Thanks, -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
