Hello all: I am running suse 10.0 i386. Several times happened recently that yast software manager could not find a file. Eg. last time I searched for gnome-config and it did not find the corrsponding package. The 'Provides' box was checked naturally. I had to use rpm.pbone.net to identify the package. Writing the package name in yast's search box, yast found it. Why is this and how could it be fixed? Thanks, IG ________________________________________________________________ Harry Potter és a Félvér Herceg! Garantált szállítás a megjelenés napján!

It happen to me several times. The problem is with the media (dvd) or the drive. When YaST can not read the disk, it reports missing package. Try to copy the installation media on your HDD, and change the installation source in YaST. Or put it on a network share (or HTTP, or FTP, etc.). Some older DVD drives have problems reading dual layer disks. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

Simple solution - shorten the search criteria you use. Instead of using areallylongsearchstring use something shorter (reallylong) that contains only a small part of what you are looking for. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
