I just upgraded to SuSE 9.1 and everything seems to be working fine except YaST. If I try to run it. It verifies my root password and then doesn't load. If I try to run it via the control center, I can select a module and put in my password, but the module doesn't load. SuSE online update fails with a log notice that it can't find libpopt.so.0. Running YaST in the console results in a message that the text version is installed but not working. I've tried forcing an reinstall of popt-devel, and of various of the YaST packages with no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks Hilary

Try reinstalling Qt and ncurses. An the popt.rpm, if possible use the latest rpm version of popt for suse 9.1. Then run yast from the console and if it gives any more errors, paste them here. Josephine

The error I'm getting when I run "yast" in text mode is:
warning: the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface
If I try yast2, I get this:
warning: the qt frontend is installed but does not work warning: the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface
even after I forced a reinstall of popt, ncurses, ncurses-devel and yast2-ncurses. Reinstalling qt didn't seem to help either. I tried installing qt-devel as well, but came up with a rather daunting list of dependencies. When I did the original install, I left the default setup intending to add more packages once I had a stable system.

Try the repair option from the boot CD?

Thanks - that worked. I never thought of using it for repairing a program, just when I had boot issues. The problem package was the yast2 package manager. HIlary
